I do not think so, all configuration is done via config files. I just
get EMC as a ubuntu package.

So did I. But I perceived that the "config files" were designed for
certain specific types of hardware, and one might have to re-compile at
least the hardware interfaces if you were doing something full-custom.

I don't know if you're designing your own hardware, or using off-the-shelf
stuff.
