Hi, I have just started an embedded project and I want to cross compile Linux kernel and hence a distribution for a arm processor. In short a how to on developing tool chain for cross-compiling Linux Please suggest suitable links. Or Documents that I can refer. Thank you.

These are build systems for producing arm based angstrom distributions. It would be helpful if you could let us know the board you are working on. Openembedded supports many arm based boards, but for a few obscure ones you might want to check out scratchbox also. Compiling your own toolchain is not advised, even with kegel's crosstools because of ABI mismatch nightmares and the general brokenness of gcc-binutils. Codesourcery is a good choice, they have both eabi and gnueabi versions of toolchains, however I have encountered many problems compiling uboot with CS toolchains. OE produces its own set of toolchain which is much more stable and afaik supports gnueabi. Again, depends on what board you are compiling for. -- -- Ankit Chaturvedi GPG: 05DE FDC5 468B 7D9F 9F45 72F1 F7B9 9E16 ECA2 CC23 http://www.google.com/profiles/ankit.chaturvedi ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

[ilugd] How to check data size on HP Tape using amanda or any other utility
Hi I have a HP Ultrium 2 tape on which data was backed up using amanda and OS was BSD Unix. I have to restore it on some other location. I had setup amanda on RHEL 5 and able to see and extract the data using -bash-3.2$ /usr/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/st0 | /sbin/restore -i -v -b 2 -f - -bash-3.2$ add * -bash-3.2$ extract Now the data restored this way is about 300 MB whereas the sender of tape says it should be much more than this. However he is also not sure about what the data size on tape is. Is there any other command/ utility from which i can see/ extract data from tape? or atleast cross check if the size is 300 MB only. regards, amit The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS!
