Generation of Debian rootfs for multiple architectures

This project relies on multistrap and thus can only be used on Debian/Ubuntu host system.
Its purpose is to automate the generation of Debian rootfs for the following architectures:

The following packages need to be installed:
# apt-get install multistrap binfmt-support qemu-user-static

To create a Debian rootfs, symply run:
# ./make-rootfs.sh ARCHITECTURE

Default multistrap configuration files provide Debian packages suited to embedded targets.
They have been tested on a Debian Jessie amd64 host system to build rootfs for all architectures.
They can be modified/overriden if you want to add/remove packages installed by default.

The generated rootfs are ready to use, no further configuration is required.
The root user has an empty password and logs automativally in.
A ssh server is also running (except for s390x), root can connect to it with an emtpy password.

Once running on your target, the rootfs can be upgraded with apt-get commands.

As examples, already built rootfs can be downloaded by clicking on the architecture name in the above list.
