Advanced: Build your own Image

To have a lot more control regarding the content of the image, like special maps, weather data or airspaces, you can setup you own build machine and build a customized image by yourself. Before you are going to begin with such a step, you should check if you meet the following requirements:

  1. Linux System (e.g. Ubuntu) as build machine
  2. Some knowledge about bitbake and OpenEmbedded
  3. Some knowledge about CrossCompiling software for Emebbed Systems
  4. A lot of time ;-)

If you meet all the requirements you can get detailed instructions here
