Linux 2.4.19-rmk7-pxa2-adsx10


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

  • Fixes the problem with ADSmartIO on the BitsyX.

  • Is otherwise identical to adsx9.

Important Warnings and Requirements
  • Do not use a connector board older than Rev A on the BitsyX.

  • Do not use this kernel on prototype VGX boards. It only supports Rev A or higher.

  • 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.
