Hellol

could anyone explain me how to build an kernel with rfs for the AT91SAM9260ek

I downloaded buildroot and try to start the *.sh but it doesn´t work ?

I´m an newbie, so please help me.

The Informations on linux4sam.org aren´t enough for me to find a solution...

Thank you very much.

Hello!
buildroot-snapshot.tar.bz2/buildroot/docs/buildroot.html - all about buildroot usage.

Heh, well that documentation is useful to a degree. First of all, there is no mention in the documentation of what to do when you make a config and get a bunch of input requests. Also where is the documentation on how to make or modify defconfig files or linux-x.x.x.x.config files? Right now I tried to build files for a at91sam9260ek board using the at91sam9260pf target files (using "make at91sam9260pf_defconfig" then "make configured"). I then get asked a bunch of questions about settings. One thing I select is the use latest 2.6.22.x kernel headers. The error I get is that there is no at91sam9260pf-linux-2.6.22.10.config file. The snapshop of buildroot I downloaded (on 1/15/08) only has a config file for the 2.6.22.1 kernel. So how do I make a 2.6.22.10 config file??

edit: also no documentation on how to add support for additional capabilities, like ppp, to the kernel.

here some partial info

I have exactly the same problem.

But i want to build buildroot for the at91sam9263ek.

After a while i get the error


The last piece means he is not able to cp the at91sam9263ek-linux-2.6.22.1.config file.
Its clear because there is no at91sam9263ek-linux-2.6.22.1.config file in that directory. There is only a at91sam9263ek-linux-2.6.21.1.config file.

OK it seems to me that i have to configure the 2.6.22.1 kernel which is located in the buildroot directory and copy the .config to at91sam9263ek-linux-2.6.22.1.config

Is that right?

The 2.6.22.1 kernel which is located in the buildroot directory looks not really patched for arm.
Did i have to do this job before i configure the kernel or will buildroot do the job later?

Sorry for the stupid questions but iam a little bit confused.
Thx a lot.

OK i solved the problem.

Only copy the linux_defconig_kernel_file from linux4sam to target/device/Atmel/at91sam9263ek/

Thats all.
