Scarlet Linux

Configuration files and scripts for building a tiny Linux + Busybox distribution. Intended for use as a recovery OS in BIOS chips on Coreboot and Libreboot devices.

Currently, the build script will create a kernel and initrd with the default configurations for both Linux and Busybox. This runs, however it is around ~14MB total. In order to store on the BIOS chip of most Coreboot-supported systems, the total size must be anywhere between 2MB and 10MB. In order to achieve this, certain unnecessary Busybox programs and Linux drivers must be disabled.

This video has been very helpful in the initial setup.

Build Requirements

  • cpio
  • wget
  • x86_linux_musl toolchain
