Re: [Ltib] Using Ltib on non supported board

Hi Stuart, 

Thanks for the the reply, please bare with me, I'm new to LTIB and embedded Linux. 

I first tried changing the default toolchain, kernel source and toolchain prefix in LTIB, with the default kernel configuration, the build failed. 

This failure might have something to do with the kernel config, it would appear that the config that had been used isn't that of the default config from the kernel source. If I were to 'make menuconfig' the kernel source the menu that appears has a list of different options when compared to the kernel menuconfig that LTIB starts up. I had a look at main.lkc but I don't quite understand why LTIB is ignoring the default .config for the kernel and appears to be using some other .config, i.e I'm not sure which config is being used?

Would I be better dumping the freescale version of LTIB and using the CVS version, is there any difference except for the supported platforms?

Thanks

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

Making the changes are easy.  Basically you need to edit the config/platform/_target_/main.lkc file to refer to the toolchain/kernel you want to use.  Make sure to copy also the correct TOOLCHAIN_FLAGS etc from the existing BSP using those assets.

The main thing you'll need to do is to test.

Regards, Stuart

Hi,

Is it difficult to integrate kernel source and a tool-chain into LTIB from another BSP. The reason I ask is that I am using an i.MX53 based SoM and the build tools are bad and I really like using LTIB, my exposure coming from using LTIB with the i.MX53QSB. 

I can see from the Freescale provided LTIB that I could select custom kernel source and a custom toolchain, what are likely outcomes if I were to change these? Do I need to be digging deeper and look at modifying other files?

Regards

Wayne
