Probably "XScale 270" is not the best word combination for this, the exact processor name is PXA270 (formerly Intel, now Marvell). > in depth doc/HOWTO how to compile your own kernel and make a boot > image for that arch.

Assuming the mainline kernel already includes support for your machine, 1. get the latest stable Linux kernel 2. compile the kernel: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<your_crosscompiler_prefix> <your_machine_name>_defconfig make <kernel_image_name> For example, to compile the kernel for Mainstone platform with blob flashed, do the following: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- mainstone_defconfig make zImage 3. boot the image as appropriate for your bootloader > > It's obvious that I need a cross compiler for ARM, bootloader images > and so on, but it's the gory details I'm curios about. > > Links to HOWTOs, documentation highly appreciated.
