Subject: Question about cross compiling support
To: Autotest Team <[email protected]>


Hi, Autotest Team

Thanks very much for your work on the autotest support of Linux, I'm
currently playing with this powerful tool but I encountered a problem,
that is:

How to compile a kernel in a local machine and install it to a target
board, then, reboot the target with the new kernel.

For example, my local machine is an X86 PC, the target machine is an
ARM board, I want to cross compile the kernel from X86 PC and then
install
it to the ARM board, how can I simply implement this?

BTW, my target board doesn't support the popular Grub or Lilo
bootloader, but instead, it uses a Uboot bootloader, so, it is not
suitable to use
the old install() and boot() methods of the kernel class, is that
possible to add a new Bootloader support for Uboot? or simply hack the
install() and boot() methods?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Wu Zhangjin
