PiBox is a Build Environment.
PiBox is a platform for multiple devices.

PiBox Platform

The PiBox Platform provides the core of PiBox Systems for PiBox Devices.  The platform is a GNU Make build system that leverages Crosstool-NG, Buildroot/Busybox, the Linux kernel, custom bootloaders and firmware and installation tools to create a base system that can be installed to an SD card to boot a target device. The base system serves as a foundation on which opkg based PiBox Systems can be installed.
