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 was released on 27 Jul 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/
