Bifferboard requires a kernel written to the onboard flash memory and a rootfs on a USB mass-storage device. Since Bifferboard executes 486 instructions, the rootfs can be almost any standard (USB-based) linux distribution, however for an embedded device it is convenient to use OpenWrt.
If you want to build OpenWrt from source, please download the latest source (bb-src) tarball and follow the instructions in the README.txt.
Pre-compiled binaries are also available (bb-bin). These include kernel, rootfs, and binary packages.
