Hi, Thanks a ton for continued help . That works.
BTW, this is the cpu info: # cat /proc/cpuinfo Processor Number : 0 Processor version : 0 (ARCtangent A4 processor family) CPU speed : 162.00 Mhz Bogo MIPS : 80.89 Timers: TIMER1 TIMER0 INT_VECBASE: 0x80008000 PERIPHERAL_BASE: 0x0 Icache:(type/size/length): 2 way/32KB/32B Dcache:(type/size/length): 4 way/32KB/32B MMU:(Version/uDTLB/uITLB/JTLB/JA):Extensions:CRC TEL_INSTR MAC SWAP NORM MIN/MAX MUL(32*32) BARREL # I will make a newbie document with all my struggle added :) that might help another newbie some time.
