Hey all,

After installing the toolchain twice, making certain that the uClinux distributation matches, etc..., I'm having some issues compiling.

"make" yields an error near the end:

make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/alitz/ucLinux/uClinux-dist/user/play'

bfin-uclinux-gcc  -Wl,-elf2flt    -mcpu=bf526-0.0  pmap_dump.o   -o pmap_dump

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alitz/ucLinux/uClinux-dist/user'

Its creating the "linux" and "vmlinux" elf files under the linux.2.6.xx directory, but not creating the image files...doing a manual make image is also not yielding the desired results.

Any clues?

Cheers,

you didnt post enough of a log.  you need to look up to figure out what the actual problem is.

or run `make single` so that the build aborts on an error.

Thanks Mike - I figured it out, apparently I didn't find the instructions on setting up the host system, though Im a bit confused on why I would need host header files to compile the target correctly - seems dangerous.

I am now able to compile, but it crashes when I load uImage into u-boot, and try to "go"....I will see if I can sift through the documentation on what I am doing wrong now.

Thanks,

you dont use 'go' on any file in images/.  you use 'bootm' on uimages.

Thanks Mike, just figured that out as well....I gotta say, its neat to have this thing up and running...looking forward to porting it to our custom board

I am just wondering at this point, and I may start a topic on this, how does one deal with source control with all the third party-dependencies on the host system?   Do you have to image the entire system, or is there documentation on how to pull out the dependencies...

Cheers,

Alex
