Re: PPChameleonEVB Newbie question

Dear Adrian,

in message <010001c6ed49$aa8ab390$3a0da8c0@adrianlaptop> you wrote:

I have a PPChameleonEVB board running a 405EP processor.

DAVE has a lot of pretty detailed application  notes.  Make  sure  to
read their docs.

I have tried many things, and can now boot Linux 2.6.15 on the board using 
an NFS share as both root fs and swap.

Swap over NFS? Grrghh... 

When I try to compile & install the kernel modules on the board, i get an 
message about perl and then it errors.

Why don't you just use the cross tools?

1) Kernel version/Linux distroof the i386 PC used for the cross-compiling.

Should not matter much.

2) ELDK version and if there are any patches needed.

For a 2.6 kernel tree you need ELDK 4.0.

2) Perl version (or how to stop the Kernel build using perl)

Use the cross tools. It's much faster anyway.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
