Re: linux kernel building for mips malta target board

Btw, we built the linux kernel (ie 2.16.13) for MIPS with gcc 3.4.3, binutils 2.15 and glib 2.3.2 cross tools (ie mips-linux). The kernel image (vmlinux.srec) is not able to boot successfully on malta board (MIPS32 4K). While booting vmlinux.src file on malta, it prints 'LINUX Started' and goes into infinite loop @ init_time().

Any idea on this issue? Are there any docs available for building kernel and boot it on MIPS Malta target?

Just being curious... What were the general reasons to choose Linux/MIPS instead of for instance NetBSD/MIPS? If looking at the :

http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/evbmips/

at least the MIPS Malta board is supported :

Supported System Models

* It currently supports the MIPS Malta evaluation board with both the
  4Kc (MIPS32) CPU board and the 5Kc (MIPS64) CPU board (running in
  32-bit mode only)
