Hi,

 

My goal is to use my working TimeSys toolchain, (based on Code Sourcery
ARM9 gcc-4.2 eabi) as a foreign toolchain under Scratchbox. 

This has tools like armv5l-linux-gcc, full complement of binutils, etc.
I have armv5l glibc root file system. All of this is already installed
as per TimeSys instructions and ends up at /opt/timesys/ . . . .

 

My host machine is Debian - Lenny (beta2). I also have a target from
Atmel - at91sam9263-ek board that has Linux running on it and is network
capable.

 

Regarding Scratchbox, I've downloaded and setup Scratchbox Apophis and
successfully completed an ARM cross-compile and emulation using Qemu
with out-of-the-box tool chains.

This was a good start to understanding how powerful this environment
really is. These toolchains are not matched up for my particular ARM
target and that is where the TimeSys toolchain comes into the picture.

 

My concern is whether I'm on the right path using Scratchbox Apophis,
and whether I can make the TimeSys toolchain work w/ Scratchbox plus be
able to emulate eabi code using Qemu.

 

Anyone have some opinions regarding this approach and how to make it
work, what to watch out for? How hard is this going to be?
