ELBE is the 'E.mbedded L.inux B.uild E.nvironment'.
It can be used to build embedded Linux Rootfilesystems based on Debian packages.

ELBE runs on Debian Linux Host Systems.

Crash Course
------------
1. use a Elbe XML file (e.g. from /usr/share/doc/elbe/examples or
   examples/ in the elbe source tree)

2. run "./elbe initvm create ./examples/armhf-ti-beaglebone-black.xml

   * This command creates an initvm directory in the current working directory,
   * installs and starts a virtual buildenvironemnt
   * within this build environment the beaglebone-black image will be built
   * after the build finished the build results will be copied into
        elbe-build-<TIMESTAMP>

3. copy the rfs to a sdcard: 'sudo dd if=elbe-build*/sdcard.img of=/dev/mmcblk0'
