Hi there, I have set up a x-development environment for an ebsa285 (as host) board following various pointers out there. In the end, I ended up with the following system: *linux-2.2.13 (with patches patch-2_2_13-rmk2.gz and diff-2.2.13-rmk2.np14.gz) *Binutils-2.9.0.19a (with patch binutils-2.9.1.0.19a-arm-diff-981230.gz). *Egcs-1.1.1 (with patch egcs-1.1.1-arm-diff-990113.gz). *Glibc-2.1 with "add-ons" glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.tar.gz and glibc-crypt-2.0.111.tar.gz. It works fine and I have linux-2.2.13 compiled in an x86 machine (linux-2.2.12-20), downloaded to the ebsa285 bios, and, er... working :-) It was my first exercise with ARM linux, to get some experience of the overall process. Now it turns out I need to upgrade to 2.4.0 in order to test a PCI serial card in the ebsa285 development platform, since previous kernels don't support them. I have linux-2.4.0-test11 and the corresponding patch 2.4.0-test11-rmk1, but following the same procedure I followed to compile kernel 2.2.13 has not worked. make zImage gives an error straight-away, which makes me think the x-dev environment might not be compatible with 2.4.0. But I have not been able to confirm that. So, the question: do I need to upgrade? if so, what exactly: binutils, C comp, glibc, everything? do I need to apply more patches to linux-2.4.0-test11? I am using test11 only because it came with a distro CD, so I don't have to download it. Would you also recomend to get a later/release version? Thanks in advance Jaime _______________________________________________ http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm Please visit the above address for information on this list.
