Hello, I am a newbie in linux and embedded architecture and I need help with this problem : I have a blackfin bf537-Stamp board and I want to do some applications with audio processing. I have done the basics, but I want to add an audio extender with ad1938 codec.I found a kernel with the driver included(a trunk version) but I don't know how to convert it into an uImage or how to add just the driver or the kernel to my uClinux-dist.R1.1-RC3 distribution.If you have any solutions please help.

On the second page it shows that the kernel already has the support for this codec but my kernel doesn't. When I run menuconfig there is no driver for this codec in the sound section.Sorry if I'm missing something.

I am close to giving up.I took the latest release of toolchain and latest uClinux distro I have replaced the kernel with one that has driver support for ad1938 but I get some errors in syscall.c or in some header files of sycall.c that say that the compiler cannot find some declaration of variables(I looked it up and I found that I have to renew the toolchain- with what? except the trunk).If someone can explain(with details) to me how can I get a distribution-toolchain combo that has support for ad1938 to work, please help.

we cant help if you dont actually post error messages. vague references to random files is useless.

Thank you Mike, I have succeded in my objective.What have I done:
Downloaded the latest release of toolchain: 2009R1.1 .
Downoaded the latest uClinux-distribution:2009R1.1 and put in the kernel from the trunk with support for my codec.On the first menu after you do ''make menuconfig' I updated the vendors configuration.Did 'make' and voila.
