Sertac,

Basically u need to have Celestial SoC & 
  drivers related patch.
Then, u can download desired kernel or latest 
  3.3.x.

Apply and do the forward porting. It won't be straight forward, 
  u need to re-write a bit.
U can always refer any other celectial SoC family 
  in latest kernel source or other ARM9 family.

see -> 
  arch/arm/

    Dear All;

    I have a digital satellite receiver (named Chipbox), 
    which uses linux kernel 2.6.12.5.

    Main chipset name is Celestial CSM1203 ( It is 
    ARM926EJ-S core).

    The original kernel source (and all other sources) can 
    be downloaded here: http://www.merihvideo.com.tr/chipbox-source.php

    I would like to add some functionality (Such as CIFS, 
    USB WIFI...) to my STB. In order to do that, I need to cross compile new 
    kernel.

    However, the chipset provider ( Celestial) does not 
    provide a new kernel to do this. They just compiled 2.6.12.5 for about 5-6 
    years ago, and they didn't do a new kernel from that time.

    So, I need your helps:

    1) Celestial has done a lot of modifications on the 
    original 2.6.12.5 source ( drivers, headers, definitions...) All these 
    changes can be seen by using MELD tool.

    2) In order to have a new kernel ( Such as 2.6.35.13) 
    which can be running on my chipbox, what are the steps should be done one by 
    one?

    Can you please explain for a newbie 
    please?

    Best Regards

    Sertac
