The software for the EBSA-285 was built from the original sources using a combination of an i686-cross-SA110 GNU gcc (2.95.2) cross compiler, and a "native" SA110 GNU gcc (2.95.2) compiler. The i686-cross-SA110 cross compiler and assocaited cross-compiling tools were built from scratch on an i686 host using the following sources: - binutils-2.9.5.0.34-1.src.rpm (note 1) - gcc-core-2.95.2.tar.gz - glibc-2.1.3.tar.gz - glibc-crypt-2.1.3.tar.gz - glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.3.tar.gz The user-layer "environment" tools we used (initially) were: - tinylogin-0.77 - busybox-0.25 NOTES: (1) This file is part of the Redhat 6.2 distribution (2) There are patch files for some of these sources as well. Some of these patches were obtained from the ARM/Linux FTP site, some were obtained from other "3rd party" developers, and some were written locally. The "Angel" bios/debugger/monitor program that ships with the EBSA-285 was replaced with the following bios code: ftp://ftp.arm.uk.linux.org/pub/armlinux/source/boot/bios-1.07.tar.gz This bios was built using the i686-cross-ARM cross compiler. It was then downloaded from an i686/MS-DOS host into location 0 (zero) of the EBSA's flash memory using the "Flash Memory Utility" [FMU] software that comes with the "ARM Software Development Kit" [which you should have received with your EBSA-285 board]. This replacement bios provides support for (among other things) bootp, tftp, a 3Com 3c905C NIC, and allows the EBSA-285 to bootstrap itself by obtaining its IP address, a kernel image, and a root file system, from a remote Linux host.
