| - | However being distributed under the GPLv2, and being quite well maintained, you are free to play around with it. Like OpenWrt is build (cross compiled) with [[about:toolchain|OpenWrt Buildroot]], uboot can be build with help of the Embedded Linux Development Kit. It is quite well documented: [[http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK|ELDK-4]] / [[http://www.denx.de/wiki/ELDK-5/WebHome|ELDK-5]]. | + | |
