Hello everyone,
i tried to compile the kernels of
http://www.xilka.com/sheeva/ and failed a long time.
But finally i got it work and i want to share this work.
What i provide are 3 build scripts to do this work on a Ubuntu machine (testet on 12.10)
These scripts may work on debian as well.
I have not tested if all dependencies are included, so i need feedback.
Other linux distributions need slight modifications of the scripts.
What the scripts do:
build-toolchain.sh
-download build dependencies
-download the gnu-arm-installer.sh script form
http://code.google.com/p/hobbycode/source/browse/trunk/gnu-arm-installer-patch it against newer library sources
-patch it to use multiple cpu cores
-patch it to build arm-eabi-none toolchain instead of arm-elf
-build the toolchain in the directory gnu-arm-toolchain
build-kernel-3.7.9.sh
-download linux sources
-download the patches necessary from
http://www.xilka.com/sheeva/-disable support for Cambridge Electronic Design 1401 USB support (this module does not compile with this toolchain)
-enable some other modules (needed to compile wifi modules)
-use the previous built toolchain to cross compile the kernel and modules and install it to directory dreamplug_install
build-wifi.sh (ATTENTION only for Wifi 'g' Dreamplug users)
-download wifi sources
-patch them against kernel 3.7.9
-build modules and install to directory dreamplug_install
you have to copy the file structure to the dreamplug then
this kernel should work with the uboot version shipped by new-it (with the guruplug machine id)
based on this you can implement your own patches and so on
What's missing:
I don't have a wifi n dreamplug so the wifi modules for this type are missing.
I did not bother to compile the bluetooth module. It needs to be patched against the newer kernel. I don't need it.
