# Building a small Raspberry Pi System from Scratch
What you are looking at right now is a collection of instructions on how to
bootstrap a tiny system for a Raspberry Pi 3 board.
We will bootstrap the system by building our own cross compiler toolchain
and then using it to cross compile everything we need for a working Linux
based OS.
In contrast to similar guides, I try to explain why we are doing the things
the way we are doing them, instead of just throwing a bunch of copy-paste
command lines around (I'm looking at you, LFS).
This guide is divided into the following parts:
* [Building a cross compiler toolchain](crosscc.md).
* [Cross compiling a statically linked BusyBox and the kernel](kernel.md). The
BusyBox is packaged into a small initrd. We will make it boot on the
Rapsberry Pi and explore some parts of the Linux boot process.
* [Building a more sophisticated userland](userland.md). Mostly a
Linux-From-Scratch-Style "lets build some packages". The userland will be
packed into a SquashFS image. The BusyBox based initrd is modified to mount
it and switch into it.
