Update 05.07.26: With 7.1.3 release, there is a prototype for a musl Image with X windows and some small programs, see download linux-7.1.3-with-userland-muslX.cdi.zst (389 MB)
Update 27.06.26: Most tools are already in the userland variants. But a good graphical UI is still missing. But I am working on compilation of tinyX, so shouldn't be too far away.
Currently I use it mostly via NFS / chroot with many tools from a cross compiled distro.
But, it should also be more usable, when "just used" on the device, so it should include at least some tools, maybe demos or something interesting. Userland could be on the same or separate disc and be mounted on it.
e.g.
- Y VMU/MTD interaction utilities: mtd-utils Y (uclibc, musl)
- Y fastfetch Y (uclibc, musl)
- Y telnet Y (musl, uclibc) with xinetd to start it
- Y screen Y (uclibc, musl)
- Y IRC Client ircii Y (musl, uclibc), irssi needs glib
- Y Browser like lynx, links, w3m: lynx Y (musl, uclibc)
- Y some games, console, framebuffer doom (musl,uclibc)
- Y maybe some X like tinyX (muslX prototype)
- Y tmux Y (uclibc, musl)
- Y maybe some modem software / SLIP for internet via serial or modem
- simple graphics demo
- Y basic network, zlib
- Y curl (Y musl, uclibc)
- Y iperf (Y musl, uclibc)
- Y gcc (Y musl)
- Y nfs-utils (Y uclibc, musl)
- Y editor: vim nano (musl, uclibc)
- Y enviroment compile things (musl)
- Y full GUI interface (muslX prototype jwm, twm)
