 |
|
Hi,
I would like to use my slackware 11.0 I486 system as a platform to
build embedded software and linux kernels. Currently my system does not
support any cross compiler options for other processors. Can anyone
point me to a howto that will direct me on how to get the cross-compiler
installed to support multiple CPU types. And possible any tools that
would help in system development and debugging.
Thanks |

Are you sure you want to do that on an i486 based system? Did you try to
compile a full featured recent kernel on this machine? I guess it will fail
(or at least it will need a very looooooooooooooooooooong time ;-)

As an example of how this is done for the GNU tool chain, uClibc and
Linux kernel, take a look at the OpenRISC 1000 processor:
www.opencores.org/projects.cgi/web/or1k/gnu_toolchain_port.
There is an application note describing the OpenRISC tool chain and Linux
installation at www.embecosm.com/download/ean2.html.
Hope this gets you started.

the Embedded Linux Development Kit (ELDK) might be a starting point:
http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK
if you prefer to build the toolchains yourself crosstool-ng could be
interesting for you: http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/dokuwiki/projects/crosstool
there are much more alternatives out there, google is your friend
be sure to have a look at busybox (http://busybox.net/) for a set of
basic unix utilities with a small memory footprint on the root file
system of your target |

Hi George,
I would recommend installing openembedded.
(http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Main_Page)
It is very good framework that you can build quite a few platforms from. Read
the wiki for instructions on how to build them.
Also install qemu, use qemu to run the image for simulations of that specific
platform.
Thanks
Wei |

This might be little old, but it should give you an idea:
