Linux 2.6.24.5-ads1
As always, we welcome your feedback and your contributions to linux.
This version- Supports BitsyG5, BitsyXb, Sphere, TurboXb and VGX boards.
- May be used with our regular root file systems or our armel (EABI) root file systems.
This version does not- Support the tsdev touch panel interface. You must use tslib instead. All flavors of our armel root file system and the full debian distribution of our regular root file system support tslib. See here for details regarding tslib on the regular JFFS2 and CRAMFS file systems. Support for tslib on our regular ramdisk is expected soon.
- Fully support older personality boards developed for the "Bitsy" family of boards on the BitsyG5.
- Support 32bpp on the BitsyG5.
- Support operation of the Sphere as a USB client device.
- Support Fast Bus Mode or voltage scaling on the TurboXb.
Important Warnings and Requirements- Do not use a personality board older than Rev A on the BitsyXb.
- For best results on the BitsyG5, use a personality board developed specifically for the BitsyG5 (e.g. 170130-5000).
GNU ToolchainTo build the kernel, use a toolchain known to support recent 2.6 kernels, EABI, and your board's CPU. We used the 4.1.1 toolchain to build the precompiled kernels provided below.
Note that this toolchain does not include glibc. It is only intended for cross-compiling linux kernels. To (re)build user programs, use the native compiler in our Full Debian Distribution (regular or armel) or the gcc 3.3.2 cross-compiler (regular only).
Kernel source and patchesmake machine_defconfig
where machine is the name of your board. You can change individual configuration settings later with
make menuconfig
After executing the line below for your boardmake adsbitsyg5_defconfig
make adsbitsyxb_defconfig
make adssphere_defconfig
make adsturboxb_defconfig
make adsvgx_defconfig
you can build the kernel withmake zImage
The kernel zImage will be in the arch/arm/boot/ directory.
Root File System
There are several root file systems which are suitable for use with this kernel. It is recommended that you use a root file system released after January 2008. Visit the Root File Systems topic to learn more.
