A Buildroot-based Linux distribution small enough to fit in the 8MB flash of a business-card-sized ARM computer built around the Allwinner F1C100s SoC. It provides board support files, patches, and packages as a Buildroot external, producing a bootable firmware image for the Lichee Pi Nano or the author's custom business card.
Use cases
- build a tiny Linux firmware image for the Allwinner F1C100s
- run Linux on a Lichee Pi Nano with 8MB SPI flash
- create a bootable USB gadget that shows up as a flash drive and serial console
- learn embedded Linux with Buildroot externals
- fit a minimal root filesystem into a few megabytes of flash
When to choose
- you have an F1C100s or Lichee Pi Nano board and want a working minimal Linux build
- you want a reference project for extreme size-constrained embedded Linux
- you want to reproduce or fork the business card firmware
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose distro or package manager on larger hardware
- you need a maintained, licensed, production-ready distribution (no explicit license file, niche hardware)
- you target boards other than the F1C100s
