lpc2478 and uclinux compile

Hi,

I’m Fairuz, a student that are working on a project that involves LPC2478 microcontrollers (ARM7TDMI processor). Since i’m new to the world of embedded linux, compiling kernel and stuff, I’ve look into uclinux tutorials that available on the site. But I realized that most of the tutorials use very old (4-5 years back) kernel and uclinux dist. I’ve seen also that in the tutorials, before compiling uclinux, they patched the kernel with uclinux patch and the target processor patch (in this case lpc2xxx patch).

My question is, do we still need to patch with the latest uclinux dist? I’ve seen in the latest uclinux menuconfig that only LPC2200, LPC2294, LPC22xx, LPC28xx that are on the list. Does this means that LPC2478 is not supported?So how can I compile my uclinux for LPC2478?

Thanks for your time.

Regards,
