Well, you may not be able to install the linux sources on your
development machine to compile the driver for the target. I don't
think they will fit in the 256 meg CF card...
What you need to do is setup a crosstools package (available from
Technologic) and do the compile with the kernel from that.
You can use Cywin stuff under windows OR if you have a linux machine
(and I suggest you get one just for the shear fun of it all...) then
you can use that for cross development. In the Links section of this
group there is a link for a website that explains a nice way of
setting this all up for cross development.
The following only matters about your TS-72xx not being able to use
apt-get.
>From what little I can glean from your thread, and I must admit that I
can't spend a lot of time reading it, you were having problems with
apt-get. It seems that your unit may not be resolving DNS stuff. I
just had that problem myself, my CF version of code couldn't figure
out where my DNS servers were... I mean I just fixed that in the past
week, and I will be darned if I remember how I fixed it. I feel so
stupid.
I think I edited resolv.conf and added the lines
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your nameserver.
Then you can reboot or send a HUP signal to the inetd process.
One way to test is to type
ping www.yahoo.com
if it hits yahoo then it is working right.
I had to do this because I like mc (midnight commander) for moving
files and stuff under linux. It is like the old norton commander for DOS.
