[OpenWrt-Devel] External cross toolchain

2009-01-26 Thread Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini
Hi ML,

I need your help to understand the actual status of external toolchain 
support.

In my environment, there are a lot of developers that works on an building 
environment openwrt-based. Openwrt is a good choice to manage my builds and : 
I am happy to have chosen one year ago.

The big problem that I observed is that OpenWRT doesn't support in a clean-way 
the external toolchains. the NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN option seems to not resolve my 
problems because it disables CROSS_COMPILE defines and I don't like the openwrt 
behaviour when this option is enabled.

I want understand if are there anybody that shares my observation (or I'm not 
able to use native_toolchain in best way) and if a work on this topic can be 
appreciated by community.

Kindly, give me any suggestion or opinion in order to understand what is 
needed to do and what I can do.

thanks in advance,




luigi

Hi Luigi,

I have a patch [1] for external toolchains support, it will allow you to
select your target name (powerpc-unknow-linux-gnu), toolchain commands
prefix, toolchain binaries  libraries path (for toolchains installed in
unusual locations and needing custom PATH  LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

Let me know if it works for you :)

[OpenWrt-Devel] preliminary 2.6.29 patches

2009-01-26 Thread Alexandros C. Couloumbis
I have converted some 2.6.28 patches to apply against a linux-2.6.29-rc2
kernel. this is not a complete work as a few things still do not work
but it does produce a bootable openwrt 2.6.29-rc2 system on an rb532
device. you can find these patches here:

[OpenWrt-Devel] Resume work on Asus WL500g2 (LP-PHY)

2009-01-26 Thread Michael Buesch
I just want to note that I resumed work on the WL500gV2, which
has a b43 based LP-PHY wireless device.
I cannot make any guarantees or timelines, just that it's done when it's done.
I'll first look into making the serial port work.
