Hello,
Thanks a lot for your quick response.
Btw, we built the linux kernel (ie 2.16.13) for MIPS with gcc 3.4.3,
binutils 2.15 and glib 2.3.2 cross tools (ie mips-linux). The kernel
image (vmlinux.srec) is not able to boot successfully on malta board
(MIPS32 4K). While booting vmlinux.src file on malta, it prints
'LINUX Started' and goes into infinite loop @ init_time().
Any idea on this issue? Are there any docs available for building kernel
and boot it on MIPS Malta target?
PS: Used linux kernel '2.6.13' sources from kernel.org.
Best regards,
Swami
