Linux on a IXDP465 ?

Hi all!



I tried to port the Snapgear Linux kernel on a IXDP465 board.



I installed the toolchain provided on the snapgear website (the one for Xscale/ARM) and I compiled succesfully.



However, when I start Linux on the machine (by issuing the "load" command of both the kernel and the ramdisk, followed by a "go" command) the machine hangs without any message.



It could be an endianess problem.



Did somebody succesfully ported a Linux kernel on this architecture ? If so, which toolchain and kernel were used ?



Any suggestion is welcome!



Many thanks,



Claudio

Hi Claudio,

Which SnapGear linux release are you using? Version 3.3.0 has support for the Intel IXDP465 board already - just select the Intel/IXDP465 target with either 2.4 or 2.6 kernel. Make sure you have the arm-linux-tools-20051123.tar.gz toolchain.

regards,
