Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
i'm rather a beginner when it comes to embedded systems. |
| 4 |
My (play) system is a mips (i assume a mips32 big endian) system without a |
| 5 |
mmu, so i started with |
| 6 |
crossdev --target mips-softfloat-linux-uclibc |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
which runs well (after unmasking uclibc-0.9.30.1-r1 for mips). So i have now |
| 9 |
the cross-compilers and binutils available. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Due the target has no mmu i assume that i have to rebuild the uClibc with a |
| 12 |
modified .config to cover this, right ? |
| 13 |
Ok, in the first view switching ARCH_HAS_MMU/ARCH_USE_MMU off is obvious, but |
| 14 |
then i think PIC (DOPIC) is also not allowed. |
| 15 |
(anyone could share me a working .config for this target ?) |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Also - as far as i read - the normal linux kernel is not capable of a mmu-less |
| 18 |
mips system. Is uClinux the proper alternative for this or are the mips |
| 19 |
kernels available in the portage tree patched to cover this ? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Are there other things i have to care about ? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I would be happy if someone can share some knowledge with me. |
| 24 |
|

regards |
