Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] preliminary 2.6.29 patches
Would you mind documenting the process you used to get the build system to use a not stable kernel? Because it is an RC release, was it enough to just change the LINUX_VERSION in the appropriate makefile? Thanks, wt On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 12:16 PM, Alexandros C.

[OpenWrt-Devel] Resume work on Asus WL500g2 (LP-PHY)
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. -- Greetings, Michael. ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel

Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] External cross toolchain
Thanks Nico, I will integrate asap on my experimental tree. I noticed a mistake row 262: + ifndef ($(CONFIG_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN),) should be: + ifneq ($(CONFIG_NATIVE_TOOLCHAIN),) Anyway, it should be great if a toolchain prepared using OpenWRT can be exported to others developers. I know that I ask for a lot of things... but I just want to share my ideas.

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).

[OpenWrt-Devel] External cross toolchain
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 -- Luigi Mantellini R&D - Software Industrie Dial Face S.p.A.

Yes, you are right. This is one of the main reasons I want to go this
route.
It's interesting enough in fact that I wonder if we should create a new
target specifically aimed at building a "boot loader" installation
image.

it is the very image that ends up in ${TOPDIR}/bin/openwrt-avila-zImage
and is usually flashed in a seperate flash partition. (on another arch
it will certainly have another name.)
I doubt that there can be nasty accidents: you can always reboot, since
you don't touch the internal flash at all
