Same thing I am trying to do on debain Distro I have downloaded the
kernel source from Ftp follows the steps below for compilation.
make ts7300_config
make menuconfig
make dep
make vmlinux
make modules
make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/home/dwh/ts7300/linux24-modules
after completion of above steps two new files appears vmlinux.bin and
system.map.
Problem is that I have no idea how to replace these new file on board
SD card.Can some guide me something on this.
