Linux 2.4.19-rmk7-pxa2-adsx8

This version
  • Supports BitsyX, AGX, and VGX boards.

  • Is an alpha release for the VGX.

  • Fixes a problem that caused Ethernet to hang after an overflow.

  • Fixes a PXA framebuffer palette overflow check.

  • Adds a driver for the Silicon Motion SM501 framebuffer (used on the VGX).

  • Fixes power management bugs in Audio, Ethernet, and Serial drivers.

  • Has improved sleep current consistency.
Important Warnings and Requirements
  • Do not use a connector board older than Rev A on the BitsyX.

  • To build the kernel, you must use a compiler that supports the Xscale CPU.
    You can use the one we used to build the precompiled kernels provided below.
    Download arm-2.95.3.tar.gz , untar it in /usr/local/ and add it to your path.
    cd /usr/local
    tar xzf arm-2.95.3.tar.gz
    PATH=/usr/local/pxa/bin:$PATH
    • You only need this compiler to build the kernel and modules.
    You do not need to use it to build your user programs.
    You should use the LART compiler referenced in Cross Compilers for those.
