Raseel,
You were right. But I need info on hardware tools also.
Let me explain the scenario. I have a P4 machine with Redhat 9. And I have
an ARM based SBC (I am going to buy one). Now how do you debug your kernel
that you got onto a board ? What hardware and software tools are needed? How
do you guys manage these?
Though linux has been ported onto ARM9, I would like to get an ARM SBC and
do the porting myself. That helps learning the kernel. right? I am
particular about ARM because I found it to be cheap. Suggest me if there is
anything that is cheaper.
With Regards,
Satheesh.

Ya, I think you are right Raseel, and for this cross
compilation/embedded development different embedded distributions with
compilation tools available freely can be used like snapgear embedded
linux distro (http://snapgear.org/snapgear/downloads.html), eCos
(http://ecos.sourceware.org/getstart.html) or just seach google for
some more ...
