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" is stored in a large git repository.
$ git clone 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
