Re: Newbie on embedded linux on PPC: error: cannot find boot.o

Hi Thomas,

Xilinx is building the tools in the EDK to work with VxWorks and for Standalone systems. In order to compile a Linux kernel you need to get a toolchain from one of the Third Party vendors, such as MontaVista. They have the correct linker scripts for building a kernel.

Cheers,
   Wolfgang

hi folks,


my name is thomas trying to make embedded linux run on a powerpc, but
we've got special boards here, although we use a xilinx virtex4
fpga...

as you said in the nabble-thread (see subject), i set up edk9.1
software platform settings und ran libgen to get the xparameters*
files. i copied those bsp files into the kernel tree (i use your
kernel linux-2.6-virtex from git.secretlabs.ca/git). after
configuring the kernel settigs, i try

$ make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-eabi-

what i get is the following output:

quoted

  CHK     include/linux/version.h
  CHK     include/linux/utsrelease.h
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  LD      init/mounts.o
powerpc-eabi-ld: cannot find boot.o
make[1]: *** [init/mounts.o] Error 1
make: *** [init] Error 2

so, i searched for boot.o (it exists) and even copied it into several
dirs of the linux kernel tree (where i thought i would make sense),
but the problem still remains.

googling results in

and this, too, doesn't take me further in solving the problem.

i hope you can help me.

many thanks in advance,

kind regards
thomas gerlach
