We suggest to build the BSP with the default configuration for the fist time.
Getting help

Compilation
PTXdist downloads some packages. If it reports some errors please
- verify your internet connection or proxy settings.
- make sure the package source is correct. Some package source pages will change from time to time.
(You can always try to download the source package manually and copy it to your package pool (by default: <BSP project>\src)) - some packages like bootloaders and kernels where you can select versions need to know about their hash sums. You have to calculate them using md5sum and enter the correct hash in the ptxdist configuration.
- run
$ ptxdist get
Configuration
To configure the system use the PTXdist menu:
$ ptxdist menuconfig → configure the project filesystem $ ptxdist kernelconfig → configure the kernel $ ptxdist platform → configure the platform
PTXdist menu
To add additional packages to your root filesystem simply use the ptxdist tool.
The ncurses based UI is the same that is used by the linux kernel with “make menuconfig”.
It can be used the following way:

It can be used the following way:
- use the up / down arrow keys to navigate in the menu
- use the left / right arrow keys to navigate between buttons
- select / deselect packages and options using the SPACE key
- enter submenus or press buttons using the ENTER key
Dependencies between packages should be ?automagically? resolved.
Software is organized in sections.
