Hi Marcel,
Currently i want to test bluetooth dongle for my development board
DBAu1200 i ported linux-2.6.11 kernel and enabled the required bluetooth
services and usb bluetooth driver .To test it i cross compiled the
bluez-libs-2.25 and bluez-utils-2.25 for MIPS architecture and for cross
compilation i followed the following documentation from uclinux please see
the following link docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=blutooth_on_usb in
that instead of bfin-uclinux i used mipsel and for CPPFLAGS="-D__KERNEL" it
compiled successfully and i ported all the files under install folder,when i
tried to execute from board following was the error message,

Cannot execute the binary files.Could you guide where i am going wrong,
waiting for your valuable suggestions

Thank you

Regards
Umesh
