Development

Kernel and Firmware

• Pandora kernel and Firmware reference information including SD card booting
• [Pandora Bug Tracker], Reporting bugs instructions
• Official Open Tasks (please don't edit unless you are a dev)

Compiling Software

• Set up a cross-compiler to compile code for the Pandora on your PC.
• Or, set up and compile directly on the Pandora, 'bollocks' style.

With the 'bollocks' style (building direct on the Pandora), it's recommended to ssh in and use a root overlay when installing these packages in case of breakage. As of 2011-03-28, it was necessary to run: opkg install libncurses5, or else it gets lost with severe consequences. So, better do that first. Something seems to be broken with the libpng packaging also. I found that the www.angstrom-distribution.org repo was very slow, so changed everything in /etc/opkg/ to use us.feeds.angstrom-distribution.org instead.

Porting and Writing Software

• If porting existing software, try the porting guide.
• If creating new code, then the development tutorials may be useful.
