JadePhoenix,

Internally, we use gcc version 3.2.2 and binutils version 2.13.2.1 to build software for our ARM based platforms.

Just follow the standard procedure for building them.

I have built the cross toolchain with gcc 3.4, glibc 2.2x manually (following recipes) and by using "crosstool": http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/ (which works like a charm).

sidenote:

Using crosstool i managed to build linux 2.6 kernel (though there is no explicit support for LH795xx only LH7A4xx) zImage and modules with ARM patches.
I but lolo refuses to load the image via tftp (panic).
Well that was just a quick test ... i dont bother with it.

What i'm trying to do is to replace the BDK supplied toolchain with a newer toolchain to build the 2.4.x kernel and userland.
But i failed so far.

Do i have to mimic the whole /opt/Embedix/tools directory tree?
Someone successfully replaced this stuff?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

To be perfectly honest with you, we at Logic haven't done much with Linux on the 79520 other than verify that the work Sharp paid Embedix to do can be built and used. I know that Embedix doesn't necessarily do things in a "standard" way and you'll have to do some tweaking to get it to do the things you want it to.

However, we have been working with an excellent developer named Marc Singer on our A400 and A404 kits and both of those can be built from scratch kernel sources using standard proceedures. If you really need help, I recommend either contacting our support group, or Marc. Marc's website is http://projects.buici.com/ and he should be reachable through these forums as well.
