Hi
I recently got my ts-7800 board.
I'm new to all this and a bit confused...
So I'm gonna ask some stupid questions.
If I type "mount" on the ts7800
I get the following:
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,default)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
Where is the root fs?
how does that part work?
Then I've tried to mount /dev/mtdblock1-3
1 and 2 works.
2 seems ok.
In 1 there is nothing?? Shouldn't there be an kernel image?(according to
ts-7800-gs-sheet.pdf)
3 can't mount - so I guess it's the rootfs or something?
I actually got the nfs thing working :)
Just it seems my usernames/permissions doesn't synchronize very well
between the ts7800 and my host PC. but I can live with that.
Then there is the whole crappy eabi and oabi thing. :(
In short what is the downside of cross-compiling with the oldabi compiler?
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7800-linux/cross-toolchains/ts7800-crosstool-linux-oldabi-0.28rc39.tar.bz2
Then on the SD disk I got (2GB - devkit) there is
debian-etch-eabi-armel-512MB-oct042007.tar.gz
I figured this is the upgrade system so that I can compile dynamically
with eabi compiler ?
What I find weird is that there is no kernel image in that file?
Also no where is there any instructions on how I would go about on
"upgrading" my ts7800 to this armel thing.. I don't really want to nuke
the board by doing something wrong here.
Any reason why I should not upgrade to armel?
It still have bugs?
Then in the cross-toolchains directory there are 3 different compilers I
can choose from.
Any clues on which to use?
Will the 2007q1 version work? (I see it has gcc 4.1.x)
I probably need armel for that also or need to link statically?
Then lastly about cross-compiling... I guess this is another stupid
question.
Say I've now figured out all this previous stuff.
Now I want to compile a program that needs to link to a certain library.
libreadline5 for example.
How do I get all this right to get the cross-compiler on my host PC to
link to an ARM version of this library? static or dynamically...
one last question: uptime gives the wrong amount of days
Thanks
