Linux 2.4.19-rmk7-pxa2-adsx5

This version
  • Only supports AGX and BitsyX boards.

  • Enables ext3 file system support in the default kernel configuration to support the Debian distribution.

  • Includes /dev/sda* device nodes in the ramdisk root file system for USB disks.

  • Adds support for the 2nd SSP port available on PXA255 CPUs.

  • Fixes a problem with the PXA and Epson frame buffer drivers that caused the pallet contents to be lost after blanking the display.

  • Generalizes the CF bus for use by Ethernet and other peripherals.

  • Improves Ethernet performance on the Bitsyx but limits it to 10 Mb/s. (The CF bus is not fast enough for 100 Mb/s.)

  • Removes the keyboard repeat function since missing some key up events can cause infinite key repeats.

  • Does not support USB on the AGX. [Later versions do. -jlackey]
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.
Kernel source and patches
  • linux-2.4.19.tar.gz (~32MB)
    Download from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/ and make a base directory.
    mkdir -p /usr/local/src/2.4.19 (you can use a different directory)
