Hi I downloaded the kernel linux-2.6.32.2-mini2440_20110305 and have made configuration setup by make menuconfig then build kernel by make zImage. I boot the mini2440 with the newly built zImage, but I got the linux version 2.6.29.4 in initial boot up load Image of Linux...Uncompressing Linux........................................................................... ....................................................... done, booting the kernel. Linux version 2.6.29.4-FriendlyARM (root@tom) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72) ) #3 Wed Jul 8 18:19:20 CST 2009 CPU: ARM920T [41129200] revision 0 (ARMv4T), cr=c0007177 It seems like that kernel still remain in 2.6.29.4 How to make it update?
building kernal linux-2.6.32.2 and get linux version 2.6.29.4
George, You have to upload the image to the board. What bootloader do you use? BTW, do not use Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72 toolchain, I couldn't run pthreds_test example built with is - use the latest from Downloads page
Hi Pengui, Thanks for the advice. I actually download the zImage using supervivi bootloader and DNW tool through USB. I have double check the gcc enviroment setting: # .bashrc # User specific aliases and functions alias rm='rm -i' alias cp='cp -i' alias mv='mv -i' # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3/bin The gcc version is arm-linux-gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: arm-none-linux-gnueabi Configured with: /opt/FriendlyARM/mini2440/build-toolschain/working/src/gcc-4.4.3/configure --build=i386-build_redhat-linux-gnu --host=i386-build_redhat-linux-gnu --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --prefix=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3 --with-sysroot=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi//sys-roo t --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib --with-arch=armv4t --with-cpu=arm920t --with-tune=arm920t --with-float=soft --with-pkgversion=ctng-1.6.1 --disable-sjlj-exceptions --enable-__cxa_atexit --with-gmp=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3 --with-mpfr=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3 --with-ppl=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3 --with-cloog=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3 --with-mpc=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3 --with-local-prefix=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi//sy s-root --disable-nls --enable-threads=posix --enable-symvers=gnu --enable-c99 --enable-long-long --enable-target-optspace Thread model: posix gcc version 4.4.3 (ctng-1.6.1) I don't know why it shows (gcc version 4.3.2 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72) ) in the board. I couldn't run the pthreds_test example either. and I found this discrepancy in version when I tried to insmod mini2440_hello_module.ko. The module was build by linux-2.6.32.2 but kernel still in 2.6.29.4. The kernel is linux-2.6.32.2-mini2440_20110413.tgz which is the latest and the gcc is arm-linux-gcc-4.4.3.tgz. Has any body experience this before Thanks George
hi, problem while loading kernal it is show in screen shot which i have attached,please tell me the reason for it . Thanks shravan
Looks like there is something wrong with your NFS setup. You'll have to show us the files you modified in your rootfile system. Also, which NFS server are you running on what host? And how is that setup? It might be helpful to read the relevant section in the QuickStart.pdf at this site: http://www.oselas.org/oselas/bsp/pengutronix/mini2440_bsp_en.html
Read the link there is quite a bit to set up. Also, I think, the bootloader has to be able to be configured for an NFS share. Well, barebox does. Never used NFS with u-boot or Supervivi.
everything is working well, but i want to change text, image on startup to required image,what i want, can anyone can guide in that area....
hello there, i am new in mini2440. i load the zimage file and kernel file on the board like supervivi,kernel and qtopia. now with the help of kernel guide i want to download the arm linux gcc toolchain and linux kernel but i couldn't find on this site. when login with ftp:// server it gives the error and couldn't find these two. help me. thank you.
