hi all i've recently ben working with the following kernel source file, linux-sl5500-20020910.tar.bz2

which turns out to be:  kernel version 2.4.6-rmk1-np2-embedix
which didnt realise till now was different to pdaxrom collie kernel version:

2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix

...


whats the best way to get this ??

/1.1.0beta3/src/linux-sl5500-20030509-rom3_10.tar.bz2
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distri...rom3_10.tar.bz2

looks good so far !

following some info here ive gotten "make dep" done

notes: i did the make dep with arm-linux-gcc 2.95.3 , as 3.x.x gave errors : cc1: error: invalid option short-load-bytes'

which i read should be easy enough to fix
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/crossgcc/2004-05/msg00126.html
, but was keen to use 2.95.3 so left it at that.

though to get past missing "version.h" error with 2.95.3 i had to issue:

make include/linux/version.h

before make dep

you can get a 2.95.3 hard float fpa crosscompiler from here:

http://www.handhelds.org/download/projects...lchain/archive/

put it in /usr/local/arm/  (ie /usr/local/arm/2.95.3/...)

and init your self or use my script attached

and here's a reference site:

one thing i did see while looking around was opz versions of the kernel source that appear to have updates such as xxx-3.5.3 and xxx-r19 ... these may be nice and better but im not sure, so i tried to keep it simple... though there probably no issue with trying them ?
