Snappy for Devices porting guide

This guide will get you started on porting snappy to your device. It covers setting the tools on your development machine and walks you through the basics of snappy porting by looking at the runtime requirement of a snappy system from a partition layout perspective. It will then go in depth explaining what is needed to make a snappy bootloader, kernel and initrd and will touch briefly on the requirements for installing/flashing images using ubuntu-device-flash.

Getting started

First of all, you should make sure you have enabled the Snappy Tools PPA, as explained in the snappy introduction.
