Embedded Linux on PC Engines
Embedded Linux on Alix3d2 board PC Engines
PC Engines ALIX3D2 Board is low cost embedded system based on i386 AMD Geode LX800.
My company purchased at the cost arround 100$, quite cheap compared to arm based embedded with the same features, also amd geode had encryption engine for networking support.

There are many precompiled linux, ready to deploy, such as voyage linux.
But for developer who needs complete source code in order to configure and add your own devices driver and application we may use buildroot, a favorite one on building debian linux for embedded system.

How to Build Linux Kernels
This is a sizeable project,
so let's start with an overview of the steps:
-
Download the kernel source.
- Understand the kernel versioning system.
- Verify the digital signature (proving data integrity and source identity, at least within a reasonable level of confidence).
- Install the kernel source in /usr/src/linux/.
-
Configure a new kernel build.
- Start with a useful initial kernel configuration file.
- Go into the build configuration tool and customize your new kernel.
-
Build that new kernel.
- You can build it the traditional way, as a large collection of files, or you can build it as a package and plug it into your configuration management scheme.
- Install that new kernel.
- Reboot and run your new kernel!
How To: Install ADB and Fastboot on your Windows computer for use with your Android phone
Anyone that has ever tried to mod their Android phone has come across users telling other users to run various different ADB and/or Fastboot commands. The only problem is the average Joe has no idea what ADB and Fastboot are because, well, they aren't your run-of-the-mill applications. I was completely lost myself when I first ventured into the world of Android. While yes, developer hubs like XDA-Developers do provide instructions on how to get ADB/Fastboot installed, there are so many convoluted guides out there, it is easy to throw one's hands up in defeat. Hopefully this guide makes it simple and straightforward to get ADB and Fastboot installed on your computer.

Without going into too many technical details (trust me you don't want technical details), let's just say they are two command-line tools used when modding/hacking Android phones.
