In particular: '-t TYPE': hexa output is specified with '-X' instead of '-t x' '-N NUMBER' is not supported 62821 1 stephano 2016-06-09 15:02:13 +0000 Poky doesn't aim to be POSIX compliant. The workaround here would be to install coreutils which contains GNU od. 62823 2 jean.parpaillon 2016-06-09 15:03:57 +0000 I understand it does not 'aim to' but is there any valid reason for it not to be, while busybox does ? 62831 3 ross.burton 2016-06-09 15:14:51 +0000 So it looks like busybox ships with two versions of od: od.c (6k source) or od_bloaty.c (36k source). If you desperately need full od then it's trivial to enable od_bloaty (enable CONFIG_DESKTOP or use coreutils. An alternative would be to demonstrate that enabling CONFIG_DESKTOP doesn't cause too much of an impact. 62832 4 jean.parpaillon 2016-06-09 15:16:24 +0000 Ok, got it. Thanks for your answer :)
