Zaurus - pdaXrom / Make Image Problem

« on: April 13, 2005, 11:22:47 pm »

Oh，never mind. sashz tell me to try the latest builder, he said that the latest builder has fixed some bugs. I am now compiling the crosstools for the this new one. And it seems that the old crosstool, which is built for the older builder, could not work well on a newly built builder. Hope this new builder can give me a "initrd.bin".
Oh , god I nearly get the initrd.bin yesterday. I am not sure if it is because of the vendor-tweaks...ipk.

But that directory does exist. Did you got the same problem when you compile a new distribution, pqas?
And I want to know where can I get the configure file for "RC9.1"

Ah~yes.I also disabled some packages in make menuconfig.This URL is so good for me,thanks.

It is needed when I compile the new pdaXrom, running "make world".

Thanks, I will try it.
By the way, I choose the default config file. hum, it took so long to compile and creat the ipk files.

« on: April 11, 2005, 03:30:01 am »

Hi:
   After I choose some ipkgs in pdaX86-"make menuconfig" , I run "make world", it compiled all the ipkgs and put them into /bootdisk/feed/. I want to know if I download all the ipkgs into that directory, and run "make image", will I get the initrd.bin which is used for rom?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / 1.05 Vs Rc9 :)

« on: April 05, 2005, 10:11:48 pm »

Debating on which version to install... 1.05 or RC9

My usage requirements will be speed (Are either/both using the new kernels that enable to C700 to go faster, forgot the name of that patch) Since both SDKs are out, I can always compile up my own apps if needed.

So is there any glaring problems with 1.05, or should I just take the jump to RC9 ?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=71055\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I support RC9, the speed makes me so high.

Hi, morning everyone:
  I saw sashz on #cacko irc.freenode.net.(thank you pgsas for this address). And I asked some questions. Sashz gave me the answers.

<henry> sashZ
<sashz> morning
<sashz> henry, you could compile gcc 2.95.3 for kernel compilaton. look config-sys/*2.95.3
<henry> morning!
<henry> Must I copy the arm5vtel-linux-gcc to arm-linux-gcc?
<henry> collie-sa1110-softvfp-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.4.18 corgi-xscale-softvfp-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.4.20 pc-x86-hardfloat-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.6.10
<henry> corgi-arm-hardfloat-2.95.3-2.2.5-2.4.18 corgi-xscale-softvfp-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.6.11-rc5 segadc-sh4-hardfloat-3.4.3-1.13.0-kos
<henry> corgi-xscale-softvfp-3.3.2-2.2.5-2.4.18 hms-h8300-nofloat-3.4.3-1.13.0-newlib sucks
<henry> here are all the sub directories in config-sys/, which one should I choose, if I want to build one for my sl-7500c
<sashz> corgi-arm-hardfloat-2.95.3-2.2.5-2.4.18 for gcc 2.95.3
<sashz> choose option external crosscompiler for kernel
<sashz> compile kernel gcc in seperate directory
<henry> ?? Do you mean "The xtools configured by corgi-arm-hardfloat-2.95-2.2.5-2.4.18 are for ipkgs, and I have to install an external gcc2.95 in a seperate directory for the kernel compiling?"
<sashz> nono
<sashz> now you have copmiled only crossgcc 3.3.2, right?
<henry> yes
<sashz> for build zaurus kernel 2.4.18 you must compile also crossgcc 2.95.3
<henry> ??
<sashz> because this kernel will build right only with this gcc
<sashz> look short manual on oesf
<henry> ok, do I have to remove all the files in /tmp/crosstools?
<sashz> yes
<henry> to recompile crossgcc 2.95.3?
<henry> ok
<sashz> if you archived gcc 3.3.2, just unpack it for restore xtool
<sashz> than compile 2.95.3 in /tmp/crosstools-2.95.3 for example
<henry> yes, I have done it,"make archive-tools"
<sashz> than copy rom configuration and make menuconfig and change path to binaries with external crosscompiler for kernel
<sashz> than configure kernel and make it
<henry> If it is done shall I input "/tmp/crosstools-2.95.3/bin" in the externel compiler path?
<sashz> yes, because when run kernel compilation that will looking for kernel compiler
<henry> Actually, I have done that before. And I get the zImage.bin file, but I did not get the initrd.bin after I make image, Some bugs happened
<sashz> which bugs?
<henry> That happened two days ago, I forgot it,god.
<sashz> okay, i go now, will back in 3-4 hrs
<henry> Thanks for your help! tanks a lot, a lot. you are so nice
<sashz> no problem icon_smile.gif

Thank you for your reply, sashZ!
I configured and install the xtools in /tmp/crosstools , than I "make kernel_menuconfig", selected the ipv6 modules, and then I make world.
Two problems occured :
Firstly, it told me that "cann't find arm-linux-gcc", so I copied the armv5tel-linux-gcc to it(I don't know if it is right?maybe wrong). Then I run make world.
Secondly, it told me that

Thanks, you two are so nice persons.
I am now in a plan, in which the Zaurus 7500C is selected as a terminal. Our group is going to do some experiments on IPv6, and the plan should be finished by June, that is why I am so anxious to make Zaurus 7500C support IPv6. Thus the first step is to make and compile the new pdaXrom distribution, with a IPv6-supported kernel.
I tried to build a new distribution many times, ah~~~ so many problems for me, you know that I am really a greenhand on linux OS.

BTW: If anyone can tell sashz about my problem, I would appreciate you a lot, a lot.

I tried the "pdaXrom katrhin rc9 builder"--pdaXrom-builder-22.20_30.01.05.tar.bz2, some problems occured, and I found that there is not any configure file or patches files for me to make a linux distribution for my Zaurus SL-C7500.
I successfully installed a RC9.1 on my C7500, so I am sure that 9.1 works well for it. Could anyone give me a builder for RC9.1?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Is The Real Manual For Pdaxrom Builder/ptxdist Ok?

« on: April 01, 2005, 11:20:18 am »

note that I had a small problem during the compilation of orgi-arm-hardfloat-2.95.3-2.2.5-2.4.18 but it is simply that strip fails because there is no .so, I just commented out the line.

Where can I find the file in which I can comment out that line? Makefile?

according to sashz there will be complete intructions around july....

apart from what is on pdaxrom.org, there is this page:

Thanks,  this is exactly URL that I followed to build my kernel.
But I countered an error, it shows the following words:
