HP provides periodic updates to the image, as well as add-ons. Check
the HP support site for important documentation that provides
specific information for your image version and for installing
add-ons. You can find support documentation at:

To search for support documentation, enter your country and product
name, and then click Manuals.
There are two methods for obtaining a custom image. You can use a
custom image from HP, or you can develop your own image using a
tool kit.
Contact your HP Account Team, which will work through the HP
Specials Process to understand the opportunity, image requirements,
schedule, and costs involved.
HP has a partnership with Metrowerks, which uses an
industry-recognized tool kit Platform Creation Suite (PCS) to develop
and build images. PCS is a fee-based licensed product that you can
obtain directly from the following Metrowerks Web site:

To assist you with starting a baseline code set, HP provides a Board
Support Package (BSP) that contains all code packages that comprise
the Linux image. The majority of the code packages are provided as
open source, while a few of the packages are in object form due to
their proprietary licensed nature. You can also get the HPBSP directly
from the Metrowerks Web site upon registration. PCS tool kit sales,
fulfillment, support, and maintenance is provided by Metrowerks.
