Re: linux kernel building for mips malta target board

[M Ranga Swami Reddy <swamim at sankhya dot com>]

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your quick response.

Btw, we built the linux kernel (ie 2.16.13) for MIPS with gcc 3.4.3, 
binutils 2.15 and glib 2.3.2 cross tools (ie mips-linux). The kernel 
image (vmlinux.srec) is not able to boot successfully on malta board 
(MIPS32 4K). While booting vmlinux.src file on malta, it prints 
'LINUX Started' and goes into infinite loop @ init_time(). 

Any idea on this issue? Are there any docs available for building kernel 
and boot it on MIPS Malta target?

PS: Used linux kernel '2.6.13' sources from kernel.org.

Best regards,
Swami
