Hi,
I am a newbie to this list. I want to use redboot
as a bootloader for Intel's xscale PXA255 to boot
linux OS. I have downloaded the ecos. There redboot
exixts in packages directory. My host system is x86
one.
I want to crosscompile redboot for ARM (xscale).
If so, should I first cross compile ecos? Or can I
cross-compile redboot alone?
I have the toolchain 2.95.3. How should I
cross-compile? I cannot find any line CROSS-COMPILE in
the makefile which I can change to path to
arm-linux-gcc.
Don't use arm-linux-gcc, it won't work. There are arm-elf-gcc tools on
http://ecos.sourceware.org/ if you follow the downloading/installation
instructions you'll find them.
However the public eCos doesn't have a PXA255 port. Intel wrote their own
and have never contributed it (and from what I saw of the sources, they
hacked around a lot of generic source so I'm not terribly surprised). So
you should use the RedBoot sources from Intel.
