Hello, our customer is using uClinux from a linux distributer charging indirectly licensing fees for things they took from uClinux.org and other community developed stuff. Furthermore, their drivers are buggy and not well tested. Thus I thought emdebian might be a good alternative with well tested drivers and packages. Thus I want to make a emdebian crush demo on their board they are currently using (based on a Xscale 270PXA, 16 MByte Flash and 64 MByte RAM). The problem is that I am not familiar with debian packages (we use Redhat).
What I did for the demo so far: - I installed debian lenny and the emdebian tools using the repositories http://build.emdebian.org/emdebian/ unstable main http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ unstable main - I installed the arm cross compiling tools with: # apt-get install libc6-armel-cross libc6-dev-armel-cross binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi gcc-4.3-arm-linux-gnueabi g++-4.3-arm-linux-gnueabi -tried to use emsetup: debian:~# emsetup Could not determine the default architecture, please use emsetup --arch debian:~# emsetup --arch Could not determine the default architecture, please use emsetup --arch debian:~# emsetup --arch arm Error: dpkg-cross does not currently support "arm" debian:~# man emsetup I don't know what architectures are supported and how to add the arm architecture. And a few other things are not clear to me: I saw that uboot is referenced on the emdebian website. After the emdebian crush flow is there a kernel and a file system image which can be loaded with uboot? The current bootloader is uboot and it would be really handy if emdebian crush can be booted with uboot. Is there a step by step document available on how to install emdebian crush on a emedded system with little storage resources? Any help is greatly appreciated as I am stuck right now. Thanks, Marco
