Gec2410linux2.6.8 kernel porting

Gec2410linux2.6.8 kernel porting-general Linux technology-Linux programming and kernel information. For details, refer to the following section. Author: Jackwen
Email: jackwen123@21cn.com
Target Board: GEC2410 (64 m ram 64 M Nandflash)

Compiling environment: ubuntu 7.10
CROSS-compilation tool: CROSS-3.3.2 (cross-3.3.2.tar.bz2)
Kernel package: linux-2.6.8.1 (gec2410-linux-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2)

1. Path for installing the cross-compilation tool:/usr/local/arm2410/
Put the kernel package somewhere and decide on your own!

Run tar jxvf file.tar.bz2 to decompress file.tar.bz2.

2. Add the cross-compiler path to the system path:
# Vi/root/. bashrc
Fill in the blank space after alias l = 'LS-CF:

PATH = $ PATH:/usr/local/arm2410/3.3.2/bin
Export PATH
Start the new system path:
# Source/root/. bashrc
Show new system path:
# Echo $ PATH
View the cross-compiler version number
# Arm-linux-gcc-v

3. Modify the makfile file under the root directory of the linux-2.6.8:
Comment out the following:
# ARCH? = $ (SUBARCH)
# CROSS_COMPILE? =

Add the following content:
ARCH: = arm
CROSS_COMPILE =/usr/local/arm2410/3.3.2/bin/arm-linux-

4. Run # make menuconfig
Error: scripts/kconfig/mconf. c: 91: error: static declaration of 'current _ menu 'follows non-static declaration
Scripts/kconfig/lkc. h: 63: error: previous declaration of 'current _ menu 'was here
Make [1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/mconf. o] Error 1
Make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

Solution:
Modify the scripts/kconfig/mconf. c file and solve the problem by commenting on the relevant code lines:
Static struct termios ios_org;
Static int rows = 0, cols = 0;
Static struct menu * current_menu; // before *********
// Struct menu * current_menu ;//********
Static int child_count;

Comment out the bold line and uncomment its downstream code. The result is as follows:
Static struct termios ios_org;
Static int rows = 0, cols = 0;
// Static struct menu * current_menu; // After the ********* is modified
Struct menu * current_menu ;//********
Static int child_count;

Run: # make menuconfig
Error:
> Unable to find the Ncurses libraries.
>
> You must install ncurses-devel in order
> To use 'make menuconfig'

Make [2]: *** [scripts/lxdialog/ncurses] Error 1
Make [1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
Make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

Solution: Install ncurses-dev (** note the package name **)
# Apt-get install ncurses-dev

Run: # make menuconfig
Load the default gec2410.cfg

Last: # make
Complete Transplantation

Note: Update bootloader (GEC2410_BOIS_bin)
