    Boris Porosin
    Free GNU/Linux live CD for embedded Linux systems and Linux device drivers developers.
    Description

    KernelKit is a Knoppix GNU/Linux derivative targetting the development of Linux kernel and drivers, as well as Free Sofware embedded systems. It is currently being used in our Embedded Linux Training sessions.

    Differences with standard Knoppix GNU/Linux:

    * Removed applications not related to Linux kernel, drivers and embedded systems: games, office applications...
    * Added tools and libraries for kernel and software development, in particular cross-compiling toolchains for many different architectures

    Usefulness

    * Embedded Linux trainings: provide all the needed tools in a tested configuration. No need to install a GNU/Linux distribution. No need to check installed package versions prerequisites.
    * Embedded Linux demonstration: helps to discover, try and demonstrate useful tools in this technical area.
    * Kernel, driver and embedded application development: toolkit to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Useful for support people away from their regular desktop, or for people who are not allowed to install software by themselves.

    2 kinds of deliverables

    * Live CD format, like Knoppix. Easy to use without any hard disk installation.
    * Root filesystem archive. Can be used within an existing GNU/Linux install, in an extra tool directory, or through a chroot.
    Our archives are compressed with 7-zip, which compresses 20% better than bzip2 in our case. Example command line to uncompress them: 7z x -so | tar xf -.
