Linux on BCM7038 ?.

Linux on BCM7038 ?.

[Ivy green]

Hi folks,

              I am very newbie to MIPS Architecure.  I would like to
use Linux on BCM7038.

              Is there any Patches already available to apply on
kernel (>= 2.4.29) ?.


Thanks
Ivy

kernel 2.4.29 from kernel.org?? Or kernel 2.4.29 from Linux/MIPS.org?

There's a difference... a _big_ difference.

Hi all,

Thanks for you reply and info. Actually i had booted xscale ixp425 processor
based ixdp425 Board ,using 2.4.x kernel. For that i downloaded 2.4.19 kernel
from kernel.org <http://kernel.org> and got the patch from another website
(i forgot the link :( ). . I applied those patches on 2.4.19 kernel and
complied it, it works fine.. For bootloader , i used redboot. So i thought,
there would be some patches available for each MIPS based Platforms also.
I could make a tiny distribution using busybox, thats not all a problem ...
i would like to download source code from Linux/MIPS.org. I want to know, Do
i need any other patches to make this kernel running on BCM7038 Platform.
Please feel free to comment ;)

Thanks
Ivy
