How to get started?
-------------------

1. Build from tarball

    Download the file 'corecdp-2.0.2.tar.gz' (release number may vary) from the
    http://www.multitech.net website or copy it from the provided DVD. This file 
    provides the CoreCDP build system and a set of sources sufficient for building
    the sample images provided by CoreCDP.

    Untar the contents to a folder of your choice, and install prerequisite 
    packages. Then, configure the environment variables and you are good to go.  

    tar xzf corecdp-2.0.2.tar.gz
    cd corecdp-2.0.2
    # install needed dependencies, see scripts in multitech/contrib/install-deps
    # example: sudo ./multitech/contrib/install-deps/install-debian-ubuntu-deps.sh
    source env-oe.sh

    # set your default machine type in conf/local.conf
    # MACHINE="mtcdp" or MACHINE="mt100eocg" etc

    bitbake corecdp-base-image

2. Build from git repository

    # clone repo to a dir name of your choice
    git clone git://git.multitech.net/corecdp.git corecdp-2.0.2
    cd corecdp-2.0.2

    # checkout desired branch or tag
    git checkout 2.0.2

    # install needed dependencies, see scripts in multitech/contrib/install-deps
    # example: sudo ./multitech/contrib/install-deps/install-debian-ubuntu-deps.sh

    # initialize git submodules and setup dir structure
    ./setup.sh

    # setup environment
    source env-oe.sh

    # set your default machine type in conf/local.conf
    # MACHINE="mtcdp" or MACHINE="mt100eocg" etc

    # build!
