Welcome to the Main Page for the LEAF (Linux Embedded Appliance Framework) project Wiki.

At this time the main purpose of this Wiki is to host a set of documentation for the current Bering-uClibc 4.x branch of LEAF and for the experimental "next" branch, Bering-uClibc 5.x.

Version 4.3.2 was released on 9 Dec 2012 and further updates are currently under developement.

This Wiki is divided into six main "books".

Three of these relate to Bering-uClibc 4.x which is the current stable release of Bering-uClibc:

• Bering-uClibc 4.x - Overview
  • Information about the development history and status
• Bering-uClibc 4.x - User Guide
  • Information about installation and configuration
  • Most readers will want to start here
• Bering-uClibc 4.x - Developer Guide
  • Information for people developing changes to Bering-uClibc 4.x

Three other books relate to Bering-uClibc 5.x which is the alpha branch with a reworked toolchain on which work started in October 2011:

• Bering-uClibc 5.x - Overview
  • Information about the development history and status
• Bering-uClibc 5.x - User Guide
  • Information about installation and configuration
• Bering-uClibc 5.x - Developer Guide
  • Information for people developing changes to Bering-uClibc 5.x

At this time Bering-uClibc 5.x is available as experimental code and can be compiled after checking out the git repository - alpha images for Bering-uClibc 5.0 has been released on 10 Nov 2012 and are available from the download directory. The current intention is to develop the Bering-uClibc 4.x User Guide and the Bering-uClibc 5.x User Guide in parallel until a first stable release of Bering-uClibc 5.x has been released.

Documentation for other / earlier LEAF branches is currently available from http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/ although the intention is to migrate that content into this Wiki over time (most of this migration is now complete). The main LEAF project home page is http://leaf.sourceforge.net/
