Hi Cliff, Thank you very much for your opinions and suggestions. Probably very soon I will use the same toolchain for all (kernel and the applications). Right now as ai said I just wanted to have a quick start to see that something is working. I would appreciate also your opinions about toolchains. Which one you would recommend to me. I would like to cross compile and to cross link all on my PC (Scientific Linux 3) for power PC 405 processor. Right now I have tried with crosstool which was quit easy to build. I do not know yet if the executables build by crosslinker work on my Xilinx board since I do not have it right now with me. First of all I wanted to learn how to start with it. Once again many thanks Best Regards Mirek On Wed, 28 Mar 2007, Cliff Brake wrote: > On 3/28/07, Miroslaw Dach <miroslaw.dach@psi.ch> wrote: > > Hi Cliff, > > > > Thnaks for the suggestion.
