adamy's Journal: Kernel Hacking

I am finally trying to hack the linux kernel...sort of.
A friend got his hands on a MIPS board and we are trying to Port Linux to it. First step...to build the toolchain. I am currrently following the steps in the OReilly Embedded Linux book .
I should rephrase what so many people have had to find out for themselves:
    The toolchain has to be build in order.
    There are patches specific to the board/chip/archiceture.
    You have to have the right versions of GCC etc.
