(i won't drag this out on this mailing list too much longer as much of it isn't CT-related, so i'll restrict my discussion to the CT issues, and we can find a better forum for the ARM-related stuff if someone wants to suggest one.)

Hi Robert,
This thing has Cirrus Logic 9302 commerical version ARM9 based MCU. I have the board, and I'm also interested in participating in a project in porting 2.6.x kernel onto it.
I've tried to actually build 2.6.x (don't remember which version exactly), and I think it somwhwat worked on the board, but then - it was not just that simple ;-)
I would like to put some time into having 2.6.x kernel running on
it, so drop a note if you need some more manpower.
just to refresh folks' memories, this is the board we're talking about:
http://www.embeddedarm.com/epc/ts7250-spec-h.html
i've yet to even get mine, i can pick it up later this weekend but, in the meantime, there's still a couple things i can do.
first, build a toolchain. technologic systems (hereafter, "TS") already supplies a crosstool-generated toolchain but i'd like to build one with (naturally) the latest and greatest GNU software.
starting with a stock crosstool-0.38, which script would represent the build for this board? while crosstool-0.38 supports gcc-4.0.1 and glibc-2.3.5, i've already submitted patches for the next version to bring that up to gcc-4.0.2 and glibc-2.3.6, which included migrating all of the relevant patches forward. the complete list of patches that i submitted for glibc-2.3.6 were:
arm-ctl_bus_isa.patch glibc-20040822-s390-sysdep_inc.patch glibc-2.3.5-allow-gcc-4.0-wordexp.patch glibc-2.3.5-allow-gcc4-wcstol_l.patch glibc-2.3.5-cygwin.patch glibc-2.3.5-sh-memset.patch glibc-2.3.5-sh-nptl-lowlevellock.patch glibc-2.3.6-allow-gcc-4.0-arm.patch glibc-2.3.6-allow-gcc-4.0-elf.patch glibc-2.3.6-allow-gcc-4.0-powerpc32.patch glibc-2.3.6-allow-gcc-4.0-powerpc64.patch glibc-2.3.6-fix-pr631.patch glibc-configure-apple-as.patch glibc-fp-byteorder.patch glibc-mips-bootstrap-gcc-header-install.patch make-install-lib-all.patch
anyway, not being an ARM wizard, i'm just looking for the *exact* incantation to build the toolchain for that board with crosstool-0.38, and i can extend that to pick up the newer stuff for which i already have patches.
and once that's done, i can try to cross-compile the latest 2.6 kernel. obviously, this kernel won't be appropriate for that board, i just want to see if the cross-compile succeeds, that's all.
and until i get my board, that's about as much as i can do.
