Documentation

Here's basically all useful documentation you may need when using Mamona. All links are related with our latest release, if you want an specific release documentation please see Releases.

Mamona Workflow

Mamona must mean liberty and flexibility. Liberty for end users that want to try new applications. Beside an application developer should have a good platform to built their applications and a flexible one to change it ("hack") when necessary. And that is the job of a platform developer: join these 2 things in only one platform. For that reason we usually divide Mamona in 3 scenes: Mamona Distros, Mamona SDKs and Mamona Platform.

1. End User: who wants to use one of the Mamona distributions in a specific device.
2. Application Developer: who wants to develop and test new applications to run at Mamona distributions.
3. Platform Developer: who wants to create new distributions, support new devices and integrate new applications.
