Hi, As subject says, I'm looking for a good GPE image to throw on my mini2440 with 256M. I tried to follow the instructions that a lot of people refer to here, but it turns out that they are for 64M devices. Also does anybody know if the gcc on this site download page is current or it's for the old 64M devices? Thank you.
I would expect that with the proper version of u-boot, that the kernel and JFFS2 rootfs images in that GPE package should work on any sized machine. Looks like you need a 256M version of u-boot. GCC versions should work across all machines (they are not tied to a specific machine). After you get u-boot going I wouldn't be surprised that the instructions you are following MAY need changing. (ie load addresses, partitions, etc) Good luck.
hi, davef, Problem is that even when I tried to use the boot loader and the kernel that came with the device and that gpe image, it also didn't boot. Any idea? Thank you.
". . . that the kernel AND JFFS2 rootfs images in that GPE package . . ." But, you are using your kernel (version?) with a GPE image that was (possibly) built with another kernel version. I have seen problems (watching minicom as the system boots up and getting messages to the effect can't find the right version of kernel modules) then having the system stop with a blank screen. Maybe, I was really having a different problem. Follow this tutorial: http://narnia.cs.ttu.edu/drupal/node/131 and tell us what your various outputs are. Did u-boot come on your machine? As far as I was aware machines were shipped with Supervivi.
The only version of u-boot for 256M, that I know of is at: http://bliterness.blogspot.com/ and you must read through the 11 comments on his blog.
