Re: Build embedded Linux system on ARM based board

The easy way is to use a commercial offer (like SysGo's ELinOS, which I did take a deeper look at, as it's a German company).

Re booting the system: There are a lot of cheap OEM boards that come with Linux installed and thus among other stuff offers the appropriate boot strategy. For ARM this usually seems to be UBOOT. As I consider using an ATMEL 9200, I bought two of those (one by SSV and one by MSC).

Re SDK I found that using Eclipse is recommended everywhere. OTOH I found that getting an Eclipse cross compile and environment running seems _very_ demanding. So I do consider using a commercial offer, once I decided which way to go.
