Re: [ts-7000] Re: Upgrading kernel version to 2.6 in TS-7250

[naresh raga <>]

hello montrones and charlie,
I have followed your guidelines.I have some doubts regarding this.
1)What patches exactly should we apply from linux-2.6.27.4-ts7200_matt-4?There are many patches in this folder and subfolder patchset.
2)Also after running menuconfig what exact options should we change in menuconfig.
3)Montornes said make zImage but charlie said simply make.Which one should I follow?Also When I am trying make zImage,its prompting nothing has to be done for zImage.
3)I have applied linux-2.6.27.4-ts7200_matt-4.patch.But when I ran make,I ended up with the error:
advansys_get_sense_buffer_dma This driver is still not properly converted to the DMA API.
Implicit declaration of function dma_cache_sync.
4)Finally,Whether the new kernel will work for TS-7300?My interest is to have 2.6 kernel on TS-7300.

Please help me out.

Thanks,
Naresh.

Baiscally I've followed the steps described by Charlie in order to get 2.6.27.4 running using nfs filesystem. These are my steps:

1- Download the kernel source version 2.6.27.4 (ftp.kernel. org) and apply the patch linux-2.6.27. 4-ts7200_ matt (available on Files section of this mailing list)

2- Compile the kernel:
1- edit the Makefile, in order to set variables ARCH (arm) and CROSS_COMPILE (i.e.:/usr/local/ opt/crosstool/ arm-none- linux-gnueabi/ bin/arm-none- linux-gnueabi- )
2- make ts7200-defconfig (it comes with patch file)
3- make oldconfig
4- make zImage

3- Create a filesystem for the TS-7250 (for example, downloading the filesystem from ftp://ftp.embeddeda rm.com/images/ tslinux/ts7250- 32-default and untaring it)

4- Create the dev entries required to boot (without them, a message telling that Unable to open initial console will appear):
cd $FILESYSTEM/ dev
test -e console || sudo mknod console c 5 1
test -e ttyAM0 || sudo mknod ttyAM0 c 204 16
test -e null || sudo mknod null c 1 3

5- set the network configuration in the file $FILESYSTEM/ sysconfig/ ifcfg-eth0 (to avoid that init scripts modify my network configuration and nfs connection was lost)

6- load the kernel in the board (I use bootload):
1- go to the folder with the compiled kernel image zImage (using NFS)
2- insmod bootloader.o -f
3- bootload zImage -c "console=ttyAM0, 115200 ip=192.168.0. 124 init=/sbin/init nfsroot=192. 168.0.10: /arm-nfs"

Regards,
-Jordi Montornes-
