16 Just a suggestion as I have no experience with this particular
17 system. Also realize that cross-compiling for a target system is a
18 different installation than using binaries, pre-existing packages or a
19 pseudo-distro installation that some websites may offer.

22 IMHO, it is easier to use binaries and packages already created,
23 if not a specific installation CD/usb install and get the board
24 up and running. Building up an embedded system, via cross-compiling
25 is what you should do after you gain some experience with that
26 specific arm platform. Be careful not to mix ideas and web pages that
27 are not compatible on the different installation approaches.
