Hi all, I am a beginner venturing in to linux world. I have a AT91RM9200EK board. I used the prebuilt binary which came along with the board. I somehow managed to port it on to the target, after a lot of difficult. I believe it has ramdisk supported and I also figured out ways to transfer files from pc to the target running the linux kernal. Now I want to start with simple hello world program. I used a prebuilt arm tool chain form gnuarm for windows( arm-gcc-elf). I was able to compile the code to generate the binary file. But it threw "segmentation fault". Kindly help me by providing an example makefile, which will create a working executable for my target. Thanks in advance, Harry
Do you want to run your code under Linux on the target? Then you need an arm-linux toolchain. arm-elf is for standalone programs only. If your board comes with a Linux kernel, it should also come with a toolchain, or at least with some documentation.
Hi Andreas, Thanks for your reply, I have few other requirement which grew as moved forward. - To Compile the new linux kernal 2.6 for the arm target AT91RM9200-EK Board from atmel. - Create a ramdisk containing the helloworld program that would execute on the above mentioned target. Kindly direct me to the prebuilt tool chains sources and recent references/help for carrying out the above requirments for the board. Seems the board is not very recent and it is becoming very difficulat to find appropriate source that will guide a new bie. So this seems to be a mixed requirement from the compiler. I tried to build a cross compiled tool chain by using cross tool 0.43 But I believe it is not very recent. I was even succesful in building the kernal. But the bootloader that was in my board did not support the new kernal. It failed to boot saying Machine Id not supported. So I downloaded the latest version of Uboot. But failed to find the config file for the AT91RM9200-EK board. So finally I am stuck. (Now I realize I actually dont have to build the cross compiler tool chain from scratch atleast for a beginner). Being a student, I had spent so much time working on the basic requirement on the project. Still stuck up with the environment setup phase, after which I have to start working on the real requirement. Not much help I can get from people around me, as no body has experience in using this board. Kindly help me in speeding up things. Too much for beginner!! Kindly help!!
