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

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 Some may be out of date!
