Hi, All the new development is happening in arch/powerpc architecure. So it is good to use this architecure if you are upgrading the kernel. But it might not work with kernel 1.1.2, As arch/powerpc need a structure like open firmware for the parameters.
If you want to stick to 1.1.2 u-boot version then you shall use arch/ppc architecure. Regards Bhupi On 6/27/07, Bizhan Gholikhamseh (bgholikh) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi All, Sorry for asking this question again, I am still not clear on some of the issues. Background: We have developed a custom board based on Freescale reference board: MPC8555_CDS with MPC8541E processor running Linux 2.6.11 and uboot 1.1.2version. I would like to update the Linux kernel to the latest available kernel 2.6.21. Here are my questions: 1- Should I use ARCH=ppc or ARCH=powerpc to build the kernel? 2- I have seen similar filenames under arch/ppc and arch/powerpc, which one applies to MPC8541E? 3- Once I build the kernel, could I load the kernel with uboot version 1.1.2 or not? if not what I should do? Many thanks in advance, Bizhan _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
