What distro for ixp425

What distro for ixp425

[Nguyen Kien]

My group is developing a smart router with Intel IXP425 XScale and I use openembedded to building a small linux system for our product. In openembedded distro conf directory, there are many distros, which distro is best for me?

I built debianslug for my nslu2 ( intel ixp4xx ) device, run ok. Is it the best choice, if i built debianslug for my product.

Thanks for your ideas!

I'll try the update now too.

I forgot to report: "file_4.16.bb"  and "file-native-4.16.bb" need to be
updated since the server does not carry 4.16 anmore - only 4.17 and 4.18.

So far, the debianslug distro isn't the best choice for the ixp4xx, 
since debianslug runs LE, and has ~30% lower network performance than 
OpenSlug, which is BE.

It'd be nice if any patches needed to run on your board made it into the 
nslu2-linux kernel repo (or even better, mainstream).

Please use a mail client that wraps. The hardware configuration ends up 
as one incredibly long line which is annoying to read.

 I will test openslug. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks Martin, that helped. Can you give this patch a try and confirm
if libintl-perl builds with it. If this works it'll be a better
option since it'll make sure all of the cpan modules in OE would
build without change.
