Re: [Bluez-devel] Help needed with getting Bluez on Axis Dev Board 82

Hi Theresa,

I=B4ve done this for a different Dev board. Not an Axis one.

To do this, I

1. Patched the supplied kernel (mine was 2.4.19) source with Marcel=B4s
patch. "patch -p1 < patchfile.patch" for example

2. Configured the kernel kernel as per dev board instructions
instructions

3. Added Bluetooth support to the kernel using "make xconfig".

4. Compiled the kernel using the supplied cross compiler "make zImage"=20

5. Put the new kernel on the Dev board (My dev board has Flash ROM)

6. Cross Compiled the bz libs and bz utils. These didn=B4t cleanly cross
compile. I had to twiddle with the bluez=B4s makefiles and stuff to get
it to work properly.

7. Added the kernel modules, libraries and utils to the filesystem image
(you can copy then with ssh or ftp or whatever if you don't want to
flash a new image, although I recommend doing it this way)

I did it a while ago and other things have taken precedence since so I
am sketchy on the details. Hope this helps.

Rod.
