Compiling petitboot

  • I use petitboot to install and boot Linux from internal HDD of my PS3.
  • With petitboot, you will be able to install/boot a Linux kernel from USB, HDD, BD or network.
  • Compiling petitboot takes a very long time
  • On my Arch Linux x86 it doesn't build without patches
  • I created a new openwrt git repository which contains my patches and PS3 NOR and VFLASH block device drivers
