In:
ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/source/kernel-patches/v2.3/
I find files like:
patch-2.3.48-rmk1.gz
patch-2.3.48-rmk2.gz
patch-2.3.99-pre3-rmk1.gz
patch-2.3.99-pre3-rmk2.gz
patch-2.3.99-pre3-rmk3.gz
patch-2.3.99-pre8-rmk2.gz
patch-2.3.99-pre8-rmk1.gz
patch-2.3.99-pre9-rmk2.gz
pre-patch-2.3.23-rmk1.gz
pre-patch-2.3.49-rmk1.gz
pre-patch-3.3.51-rmk1.gz
So. What is the code? I found a README that said the
"2.3.xx" was the actual kernel release and the "rmk"x was a date.
But that does not look like a date to me. And I've not been able to
find what the pre stuff means.
Any hints will be appreciated.
I'm still trying to get out of the starting gate on this and I am slowly
finding enough stuff that fits together (i.e. gcc-2. whatever instead
of egcs and the newer bin-utils and such). I will assume for now that
I'll be messing with kernel 2.3 but maybe I should be doing 2.4. At
this
point it probably does not matter.
But the arm patch stuff and all the different Brutus, SA1100,1110, 1111,
and
Assebet, and others are all pretty bewildering. I have a board with
sa1110
wrote on it and a board with sa1111 wrote on it and a touch screen. I
don't
know whether that is a Brutus or a Howdy Doody. All I know is that
I've been commanded to "put linux on it". And I truly believe that if I
can
figure out what the numbers and letters mean on the patch file names
I will be able to "put linux on it". Making it actually _do_ something
will
probably be a lot tougher. But, then, I wasn't commissioned to do
_that_.
Plaese advise as to where to find the keys or just give me a hint of
what the pre and the rnk stuff means.
Thanx.
