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 _______________________________________________ Autotest mailing list [email protected] http://test.kernel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/autotest
