Hi,
there is no method described in the manual. I guess many (most?) people interested in an open
hardware development device are using linux.
I hope there are any tools available and the documentation can be extended.
Thanks
Steffen

Remember that the RIoT board is targeted specifically for Android development, not mainline linux.
It's also not a truly open hardware design as the actual CAD files are not provided. There are Gerbers available now which allow you to produce an exact copy, but the Mentor/KiCad/Eagle/whatever source files are not available so you can't easily modify it.
There are better choices if you want an open hardware board, for eaxmple the Olimex OLinuXino boards.
However, the user manual has section 5 on how to build linux kernel images and you'll find a linux download on this page RIoTboard
actually, I take it back.. the gerbers download that appeared the other week isn't really gerbers at all, it's PDFs of the gerbers and as such totally useless for building your own...
The PDFs are of course helpful for examining the design, finding out where to cut tracks and such like, but nothing more. So even less of an open hardware design that I was thinking

We will be uploading the actual gerbers very soon - and it will be truly open source.
Based on some of the community feedback, we are also looking into CAD library support with other tools.
Hi Vandana, that's very good to hear!
I don't know what tools were used to produce the RIoT, but Eagle would seem to be a good choice of format for e14 to release the files in
