# NetModule OEM Linux
The purpose of this repository is to provide a base or a template for customers to build their own distribution based on the NetModule OEM Linux distribution.
The submodules and source revisions are frozen to match the latest release.
## Initial steps
Before building anything, it is required to get all the submodules. This is done with the following commands:
```
git submodule init
git submodule update
```
## Selecting hardware target
The hardware target can be selected by sourcing the machine_select script:
```
source machine_select
9 # Selecting VCU3
```
## Building an image
This distribution provides three images:
1. The minimal image
2. The "release" image
3. The development image
### The minimal image
It is a initramfs image which can be loaded from the bootloader. It gives access to basic linux functionalities and allows to flash other images.
It can be built with the following commands:
```
source env.image-minimal
bitbake virtual/netmodule-image
