Using RedBoot as bootloader, and it works fine. Now, I try to compile uClinux as its Kernel. But have some problems....
coyote board spec:
I compile uClinux without error messages. but, when I try to load zImage and ramdisk.gz.. It didn't show any message....
What's wrong?
anybody can give me some sugession??
when you do the uClinux work, what kind of bootloader do you use? still with redboot? or others?
Why do you want to use uClinux? for the IXP425 is a cpu with MMU supporting. And uClinux is special designed for non-MMU systems. please refer to arm-linux when do the Xscale working.

Yes, I use Redboot as its bootloader..
why use uClinux? I found that snapgearlinux support IXP425, and it come from uClinux. so I wanna try to use uClinux and build it on coyote.
SnapGear Linux contains both the original linux kernel and the uClinux kernel, the glibc, uc-libc and uClibc libraries. For the Coyote target, the default selections are linux kernel (since the ixp425 has a MMU) and glibc. You can try using the other libraries if you want, but you won't be able to use 'uClinux' as such, since it's just for MMU-less processors.
regards
