VxWorks bootloader & PowerQUICC II, Booting the kernel

[Ruedi.Hofer at ascom.ch]

Hi gerald

Do you mind sending these files directly in a sort of tgz form to me?

# This shar contains:
# length mode       name
# ------ ---------- ------------------------------------------
#   3708 -rw-r--r-- arch/ppc/mbxboot/Makefile
#    156 -rw-r--r-- arch/ppc/mbxboot/gzimage.c
#    156 -rw-r--r-- arch/ppc/mbxboot/rdimage.c
#   3415 -rw-r--r-- arch/ppc/mbxboot/vmlinux.lds
#

I really struggle decoding them. I somehow loose tabs, sh reports errors...


Thank you

\Ruedi

Ruedi:

Any luck?  Jon Diekema (a coworker) solved the problem for us with a
Makefile patch.  For details, see the summary of the May messages,
which includes Jon's proposed patch:
http://lists.linuxppc.org/listarcs/linuxppc-embedded/linuxppc-embedded.200005

For convenience, I've included it below.  If you cannot get my previous
suggestions to make the load happen, perhaps you can try the Makefile
patch and then do a header  dump to see how it is different.

The approach that I settled upon was identified in my initial post,
however I didn't actually do all the steps.  I have attached the the
files that are needed to make it work.

Note: The Linux_2_3 BitKeeper repository at FMS Labs contains
       these changes.
