Baserock

Welcome to the Baserock open source project. Baserock aims to be a great way to build custom appliance systems with Linux. Baserock supports x86_32 and x86_64 and ARMv7 (big/little endian, soft/hard float). We also have working systems on ppc64, mips64b and mips64l, mips32b and mips32l, ARMv5, ARMv6 and ARMv8.

Our objectives are outlined on the overview and developer experience pages.

Baserock is developed in public on GitLab.

Getting Started

See the quick-start guide.

There are lots of guides for specific use-cases. Some may be out of date!

( Note: the machine used in the video already has ssh keys. If you don't have them on your host machine, you will need to run ssh-keygen - and accept the defaults - before you run ssh -A ... at around 3:15 in the video)

And another showing how to update the kernel on a VM, cloud or Jetson Baserock system using a simple build-deploy-to-self workflow

We also maintain the Baserock GENIVI Baseline for the GENIVI Alliance, which is driving adoption of open source software in vehicles.
