All I can say is, you might just have to try it. BTW, I think the kernel in your device enforce strict versioning, that's why you need to match it up. That's why I suggest -f in the first place. Anyway, architecture is sometimes very important to match, because you might hit something nasty, i.e in x86, cmov is available on certain processor model only. Oh and, beware of the stack size. it seems that the kernel in your device use 4K stack size. You need to match that too. NB: of course, all this headache can be avoided if your device provides SDK, which is, as you said, seems unavailable. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
