What board does mini2440 belong to?

[vibnwis]

Hi there,
I went through the process of compiling the Linux kernel for mini2440. I couldn't get the graphical menuconfig work. Hence I invoked make config instead which works for me. However, when comes to the question asking for board of S3C2440 machine, I am out. Here are how the questions look like:

--------- START -----------
*
* S3C2440 Machines
*
Simtec Electronics ANUBIS (MACH_ANUBIS) [N/y/?] n
Simtec IM2440D20 (OSIRIS) module (MACH_OSIRIS) [N/y/?] n
HP iPAQ rx3715 (MACH_RX3715) [N/y/?] n
SMDK2440 (ARCH_S3C2440) [N/y/?] n
NexVision NEXCODER 2440 Light Board (MACH_NEXCODER_2440) [N/y/?] n
Avantech AT2440EVB development board (MACH_AT2440EVB) [N/y/?] (NEW) n

-------- END ------------

I simply choose the forth, SMDK2440. BTW, I am experimenting on kernel 2.6.28.

Any comments?

Thanks

Hi,

Here are default build steps under Redhat 9.0 + cross compiler v3.4.1

Of course you can customerize your building by menuconfig, e.g. target board type:

Thanks for the information. I am particularly interested in customize the menuconfig, such as adding the mini2440 option. Any idea how to do that?

Thanks

Hi,
I followed all the steps to compile kernel-2.6.13. When I do a "make smdk2440_defconfig", I got this error:
/bin/sh: gcc: command not found

In Makefile:
CROSS_COMPILE ?= /usr/local/arm/3.4.1/bin/arm-linux-
which is where I installed the tool-chain.

Can someone tell me what's wrong?
Thanks!

Use kernel 2.6.29+ for mini2440

I figured out my problem. The red hat installed under vmware did not install the gcc. After I rpm the gcc, then everything works fine.
