Linux Lab (https://github.com/tinyclub/linux-lab) is an instant environment for Linux kernel learning, development, debugging and testing.

It is based on docker, qemu, novnc, gateone ...

Now, 7+ processor series, 14+ boards supported, with prepared cross compilers, default configs, prebuilt kernel and rootfs images, demo qemu boot scripts.

Simple make targets added to do kernel downloading, patching, configuration, compiling, booting, debugging and testings. The same logic to related packages: u-boot, buildroot and qemu.
