Unless you've hacked over some stuff from the lineo tree, I wouldn't expect it to get very far.
Thats true. I've looked into lineo/lpd port stuff
patches
kernel config
linux/arch/arm/*
linux/arch/arm/mach-lh79520/*
just to realize its much work to get this board supported with a stock 2.6.x kernel from arm-linux (organisational changes 2.4.x -> 2.6.x apply additional penalties).
I've seen your name in arch* files as maintainer so you seem to be the one who ported the lineo stuff to this board
Do you know of any work in progress to get LH795xx board supported like its already done with LH7A4xx series in stock arm-linux kernel?
Well i guess i have to stick to another approach which comes to my mind.
I've got a working newer toolchain (gcc 3.3.3, glibc 2.3.2) which is built from 2.4.24 stock kernel.
If i extract the lineo patched 2.4.17-rmk2-lineo5 kernel includes to new toolchain build dir and rebuild the whole 3.3.3 toolchain it might be possible to build additional kernel drivers based on new toolchain and add them to kernel which was built using the 2.95.x toolchain.
The application development would be done from same, newer toolchain too.
All the stuff (glibc, libstdc++) would be linked statically, leaving the older userland applications including their dependencies to older glibc (dynamic) in place.
That way the userland application can be implemented and deployed completely separate from the lineo/logicpd BDK stuff.
Does this sound feasible?
