CCS (Complete Corresponding Source) Requirements

As a Free Software project, libreCMC works to go above and beyond its license obligations to be a good neighbor and to promote the ideals of Free Software. The project was founded on the idea that everyone should have the freedom to control the hardware they own, which means being able to fully control what it does and what runs on it. To ensure that everyone continues to have this freedom, a mechanism was added to the build system [1] to generate a CCS disk which OEMs and others would be able to distribute with devices for compliance and to push the idea that sources should be provided with a device at the time of sale.

make ccsdisk

A new target was created to build a CCS disk based upon the option of upstream sources or to use a local checkout. As it stands, this includes everything except for u-boot sources for a given target. In the near future, the libreCMC project will start including versions of u-boot for all offically supported targets and going forward a requirement for offical hardware support will be u-boot in libreCMC.

[1] libreCMC is a fork of OpenWrt, which both use a fork of Buildroot.
