Leon writes "Hi all, I would like to introduce you a nice board AT2440 from www.developmentboard.net.
It is based on Samsung S3C2440A-40 processor, with 400MHZ main frequency, 533MHz highest frequency. It embodies 64M SDRAM, 64M NandFlash, 2M NorFlash, and almost all necessary interfaces: Serial ports, Network, USB, audio, SD card, LCD/touch screen, camera, JTAG, bus, I/O, etc. It can even be connected to VGA devices with the help of a VGA connector board. Here is its specs:"

Alex W writes "Hello everyone!
I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to give me some advice, (or let me know where i can get some).
I'm trying to get uClinux running on a bespoke board, using an arm926ej-s. I 'm pretty sure i have all the linux stuff working, the kernel boots, the filesystem mounts, and is populated correctly. The problem comes when the code tries to run my init program. uClinux complains because i've used a .elf instead of a .bflt file. (i'm pretty sure that's the reason anyway).
I'd like to know how I can build a .bflt file. I've seen something about "elf2flt". but i've not found any instructions on what i need to do. Do i need to build a whole new toolchain for my user-level software, or can i just run a script to convert my existing elves into bflts?
If i need to build a whole new toolchain, does anyone know where i can download the appropriate gubbins, as i only have an executable cc.
Any help or advice, even links to some good (idiot proof :oP) instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Alex."

Rick writes "Has anyone setup the mysql makefile to populate a romfs file system. I have built the files but the romfs target has no entries in it. I am using uclinux-dist-test-20080627.
If there is a makefile with a romfs target please could you share this with the community.
Thankyou
Rick"

gerg writes "I have released what I hope will be the final test release for
the next uClinux-dist source package. You can get it from the
links on the
uClinux-dist web pages.
The biggest change was updating the bind and dnsmasq2 packages to
fix the recently publicized DNS exploits. Otherwise only a
handful of small fixes - mostly correcting specific vendor configs.
If you test and find any problems please email to the uClinux-dev
mailing list.
Happy compiling :-)"

| What's wrong with calling do_execve ? |
|

Platini writes "So, I wanna write out the starting processes name's. For this I wrote a module. (it's important to be a module) The below code is my shortest version of this function. When I want to load my module I get the famous "Unknown symbol in module" message, but without loading do_execve works fine, what is the problem? I have the 2.6.24.18 version, and I could not write this function. with very old kernels I have examples but with this version, I can not find any.
Has somebody wrote a function like this? (I also have problems with the sys_call_table but is another story), thanks in advance."
