New page

date: 2008 jul 03

i search for long how to compile a kernel for the kurobox pro, and here is my results

i have a kurobox-pro , which i installed debian lenny via armel's instructions at
[[Armel_Debian_for_the_Kurobox_Pro_-_Manual_install]]

i had some modules missing. so here is how i compiled a new kernel with whatever modules i like ...

here is how is done:
first we need a cross copiler toolchain
<pre>
mkdir -p ~/kuro
cd ~/kuro
wget 'http://buffalo.nas-central.org/download/LSPro_ARM9/DevelopmentTools/CrossToolchains/CodeSourcery/arm-2007q3-53-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2'
tar xjvf arm-2007q3-53-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
cd arm-2007q3/bin/
wget 'http://downloads.nas-central.org/LSPro_ARM9/DevelopmentTools/CrossToolchains/mkimage'
chmod +x mkimage
</pre>

now the kernel
<pre>
cd ~/kuro
export kernver=2.6.25.9
wget "http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-${kernver}.tar.bz2"
tar xjvf linux-${kernver}.tar.bz2
cd linux-${kernver}
make mrproper
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi-
wget 'http://buffalo.nas-central.org/download/Users/davy_gravy/defconfig-2.6.25.6-debian%20current%20OK' -O .config
make menuconfig # if needed
export PATH=~/kuro/arm-2007q3/bin/:${PATH}
make zImage
devio > foo 'wl 0xe3a01c05,4' 'wl 0xe38110e5,4' # For kuropro/lspro
cat foo arch/arm/boot/zImage > zImage.new
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n 'linux' -d zImage.new uImage
scp uImage kuro:/tmp/
rm foo zImage.new
</pre>

and modules
<pre>
make modules
export INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp/kuro
make modules_install
cd $INSTALL_MOD_PATH
tar czf modules.tgz lib
scp modules.tgz kuro:/tmp/
cd /
rm -rf /tmp/kuro
</pre>

now on the kurobox side:
<pre>
ssh kuro
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
cd /mnt/sda1
VER=2.6.25.9
mv /tmp/uImage uImage-$VER
rm uImage
ln -s uImage-$VER uImage
cd /
tar xzvf /tmp/modules.tgz
rm /tmp/uImage /tmp/modules.tgz
</pre>

worked for me on kernel ver 2.6.25.9, use at your on risk !!!

kudos to armel, bbradley and others

cheers,
