What tools do developers use to create a firmware?? I.e openvix openatv

I would aim a bit lower and try make a plugin first

you can start here

be near a wall so you can bang your head on it

Quote from h2014

Hi Everyone,

I have always wanted to learn how developers such as vix team and openatv create firmware images. I want to learn how to create my own, Can anyone guide me on the tools/programs used to develop such firmware. I would be very grateful.

Many Thanks

I wouldnt bother we have plenty of these, what we are running short on is HD and a fix, plough your time in to EMU instead if you really have that much spare time :)

If you want to build/compile the images that's actually quite easy- the easiest is probably from the oe-alliance git:

https://github.com/oe-alliance/build-enviroment

It has to be run in Linux- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is recommended (I use Linux Mint 17). Getting all the dependencies is probably the hardest part:

apt-get install -y autoconf automake bison bzip2 cvs diffstat flex g++ gawk gcc gettext git-core gzip help2man ncurses-bin ncurses-dev libc6-dev libtool make texinfo patch perl pkg-config subversion tar texi2html wget zlib1g-dev chrpath libxml2-utils xsltproc libglib2.0-dev python-setuptools zip info coreutils diffstat chrpath libproc-processtable-perl libperl4-corelibs-perl sshpass default-jre default-jre-headless java-common libserf-dev

Should take care of most- but probably not all dependencies.
