I’m using in my PC HOST a linux dist version 2.6.11. Follow some tutorials, I put this files:

arm-elf-gcc-3.2.1-full.tar.bz2

arm-linux-gcc-3.4.3-1.0.1.tar.bz2

downloaded from Cirrus in my host usr/local directory, having this result:

/usr/local/arm/3.4.1

/usr/local/arm/3.2.1-elf

with all files untared …

I have put the kernel source untared in my user file:

/home/kurumin/leo/linux-2.6.8.1

and the file:

cirrus-arm-linux-2.0.2.tar.bz2, downloaded from cirrus untared in:

/home/kurumin/leo/cirrus-arm-linux-2.0.2

First of all, how I use the arm crosstool, for compile the source, changing some configs.

When I try use for exemple: make menuconfig on kernel source, this works, but the system use native GCC, not arm-gcc, how I can do this same manuconfig using arm-gcc, for compile it for cirrus EP9301.

I think that I can do a make command on “cirrus-arm-linux-2.0.2/epd9301” dir, but using this can I change the configs? If yes, how I call the make config using arm tool.

Other question: what’s difference between arm-elf and arm-gcc? Both are used?

But please, give all the steps, because I have some dubts.

Thanks,

The Cirrus ARM forum (arm.cirrus.com) is probably the best place for getting help with Cirrus supplied toolchains and Kernels. There’s also documentation for their kernel (and toolchain, iirc) on that website.

Regarding your menuconfig problem, try:

arch=ARM make menuconfig

If Cirrus hasn’t changed the default kernel makefile this should allow you to configure for an ARM target.
