Re: linux kernel building for mips malta target board

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.
for mips kernel I think you should look at linux-mips.org for any mips specific patches
Best regards,
Swami

I use both gcc-3.3.1 and gcc-3.4.3 to build 2.6.x mips linux kernels. I think for the 2.6.13 kernel any of the latest released versions of 3.3.x, 3.4.x, or 4.0.x would work. Use the latest binutils (2.16.91 20050817 is what I am using).

Be sure to use the kernel sources from linux-mips.org.
