Porting Xscale Linux 2.6 (Snapgear 3.0) to IXDP425

hello,



Has anyone ported Linux 2.6 to IXDP425 development platform? If so, which Linux distribution did you use to port linux 2.6 to IXDP425?


  1. I am using snapgear 3.0 and Iam trying to compile UClinux to generate the linux kernel image and the root file system.


  1. Is it correct to use .config from linux 2.4 in linux 2.6 and run make oldconfig when migrationg from linux 2.4 to linux 2.6? If so, can you provide more information? Are there other methods to compile 2.6 without the help of 2.4?



Thank you and I look forward to hear from you.



regards, Marwan Younis

Hi Marwan,

Yes, we've run the 2.6 kernel on our own IXP425 platform.

As far as I know, the best way is to just start from scratch with the 2.6 kernel options. Trying to use 2.4 configs usually just makes it harder. I look at the 2.4 config file while i'm configuring the 2.6 options to give me an idea on what i need to enable.

Regards,
