Hi Andrea,
Good questions.
I used vanilla 2.6.19, and applied the patches with the following
command run in the linux-2.6.19 directory:
zcat patch-XXX.gz | patch -p1
I should point out that the 2.6.19 build is far from complete. There is
no support for the TS specific hardware (SD card, CPLD UART) or for the
non-redboot partition table used on the NAND flash.
I used TS's bootloader to load the kernel, and the ramdisk image from
Cirrus' linux version 1.0.7. I run a script from the TS bootstrap image
that looks like this:
rm -rf /lib
mkdir /mnt/arm
ln -s /mnt/arm /lib
mount 192.168.0.5:/home/arm /mnt/arm
insmod /bootloader.o
./bootload -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/ram" -r
/mnt/arm/ramdisk.gz /mnt/arm/zImage
I remove /lib, nfs mount /mnt/arm (which contains all /lib entries
needed to run bootloader), then nfs load ramdisk and zImage.
Hope this helps.
