Overo software is 100% open source. You can download the source code for all system components. We also make available the complete build system used to generate our release images and package repository.

Linux Kernel

Overo support is in the linux-omap tree:

Problem reports and patches should be submitted via the linux-omap mailing list.

X-LOAD

The x-load git repository is available at:

As this site has a relatively low bandwidth connection, if you plan to clone the repository please use:

  • git://gitorious.org/x-load-omap3/mainline.git
  • http://git.gitorious.org/x-load-omap3/mainline.git

Problem reports and patches should be submitted via the gumstix mailing list.

U-boot

The Overo u-boot patches were submitted upstream during the week of September 8, 2008 but will likely not be merged until the next merge window.

Until the merge, you can use the following git repository:

As this site has a relatively low bandwidth connection, if you plan to clone the repository please use:

  • git://gitorious.org/u-boot-omap3/mainline.git
  • http://git.gitorious.org/u-boot-omap3/mainline.git

Note: Overo support is located in the "common" branch

After cloning the u-boot repository use the following command to work with the common branch

$ git checkout --track -b common origin/common

Until the patches hit the mainline u-boot repository, problem reports and patches should be submitted via the gumstix mailing list.

Once the patches are in the mainline u-boot repository, problem reports and patches should be submitted via the u-boot mailing list:

OpenEmbedded

Gumstix uses the OpenEmbedded build system. While it is certainly possible to use other methods to build the boot loaders, kernel, and root file systems, we've found OpenEmbedded to be an attractive solution.

The OpenEmbedded "metadata" used to build the Overo software releases can be cloned at:

  • git://gitorious.org/gumstix-oe/mainline.git
  • http://git.gitorious.org/gumstix-oe/mainline.git

Note: Overo support is located in the "overo" branch

After cloning the OpenEmbedded repository use the following command to work with the overo branch

$ git checkout --track -b overo origin/overo

Problem reports and patches should be submitted via the gumstix mailing list.
