Booting the Embedded Planet RPX-CLLF
Before you can boot the RPX-CLLF, you need to compile the kernel for it. The buildtoolchain script in Chapter 3 configured the kernel and its kernel headers but didn't compile the kernel. This section describes how to compile the 2.4.7 kernel for the RPX-CLLF, create an image file consisting of the kernel and a RAM disk, download the image file to the RPX-CLLF, and boot the RPX-CLLF. Here are the steps for booting the RPX-CLLF:
1. |
Change directory to the PowerPC kernel source:
root@tbdev1[501]: cd /usr/src/powerpc-linux
|
2. |
A default configuration file for RPX-CLLF exists in arch/ppc/configs/ rpxcllf_defconfig. Configure the kernel using this default config file, with two make commands:
root@tbdev1[502]: ... |
