Hi Everybody, Iam a newbie in this field. I would like to build a kernel for my customised target platform based on IXP425 processor. The schmatics r very similar to the ixdpg425 development board given by Intel. For this I have downloaded kernel from kernel.org. How do i know which even number kernel is the best one to download? Currently i downloaded kernel 2.6.20
There is no difference between even and odd numbered kernels. The latest stable kernel at the moment is 2.6.21.5 If you want to use 2.6.20 for some reason, then the latest is 2.6.20.14
Do i need any additinal patches?
That would depend on what you need. If you are asking if you need additional patches for it to run on your target platform, then someone else will have to answer that, I don't know.
Which is the cross compiler toolchain that can compile this kernel for my IXP platform for BE mode? I currently have arm-linux-tools-20061213 toolchain. Will this work?
I don't know, but it seems like you installed something wrong in any case
i tried but i get an error as below: /bin/sh: line 1: /usr/local/arm/usr/local/bingcc: is a directory
Something expects /usr/local/arm/usr/local/bingcc to be a file, but in your case it's a directory. That looks like an installation or configuration error.
