<div>= What OpenEmbedded can do =<br />
<br />
You wonder what OpenEmbedded is about, need to know whether it fits your particular requirement or need this info for an OpenEmbedded flyer? Have a look at the list below.<br />
<br />
PS: People who know a particular feature not mentioned here are asked to add it to the list. :)<br />
<br />
== Functional ==<br />
* cross-compile packages for various CPU architectures like x86, x86_64/amd64, powerpc, arm (various generations), mips, avr32<br />
* build complete bootable distributions that can be installed on flash or SD/MMC media<br />
* build compatible package for non-OpenEmbedded based distributions like Maemo, OpenWRT or various 'vendor Linuxes'<br />
* build thousands of software packages using all kinds of programming languages and runtime environments like C/C++, Perl, Python, Java, Mono<br />
* create binary packages in IPK, RPM, DEB or tar.gz format<br />
* choose from a wide range of C libraries as the base of your distribution: glibc, uclibc or eglibc<br />
* optionally employ Debian-like naming on binary packages (e.g. libfoo)<br />
* create complete toolchain packages for your target system which can be deployed on application developer machines<br />
<br />
== Non-functional ==<br />
* reproduceable builds (let two persons with two different machines but same setup create the same binary)<br />
* strongly self-hosting, requires only a minimum of tools to be installed right away<br />
