Thought I would pass this one the the SLUG group. Friend of mine had a
question...
"I got the embedded development board today.
http://www.arcom.com/pc104-ixp425-mercury.htm Starting to read over the
docs. The board itself has Linux installed and ready to go, but in the
end I will need to learn how to configure and build Linux images.
Currently my next start is to start application development. The board
comes with Fedora on three CDs and recomends installing it on a
development PC, then updating the compiler for cross compiling to the
x-scale processor. I would compile on the Linux PC, then upload the
binary to the embedded platform. I was wondering if it would be a
simpler process to upload gcc and the required libs to the embedded
platform and compile and develope there? Of course I do not have the
first idea how to do this. My first quess is that I would need a PC with
a cross compiler to be able to cross compile the gcc compiler over to
the xscale. sigh.... Anyway I have a steep learning curve. Any book
refs. or links would be appreciated."
Thanks,
Pete
