AT91SAM9G20 build .config for linux-2.6.26
Hi,
I've been trying to build the whole kernel+rootfs system for my AT91SAM9G20-EK Rev.B EVA board several times now and always failing, for one reason or the other.
I tried both the straight instructions from buildroot.uclibc.org and those from www.linux4sam.org.
I have a working set bootstrap+uboot+linux-2.6.25+rootfs BINARY ONLY!
I am (for the time being) happy with the first two steps and I'm trying to setup a net boot with tftp+nfs.
I have been able to set-up a server with working tftpd+nfsd that will boot the original stuff.
Now I'm trying to start from scratch compiling kernel+rootfs. For several reasons I do *need* to use linux-2.6.26.
As said I tried several (>>10) times to do this with varying configurations and results... none fully booting.
Sometimes I get a kernel that will not event try to boot (apparently built for some other microcontroller), sometimes just hanging there (usually because trying to load the kernel into internal ram; how do I set link address??), sometimes unable to mount the rootfs.
Pretty please: can someone point me to a basic set of .config's (buildroot, kernel, uClibc) or, equivalently to a .../local/AT91SAM9G20 subdir?
I need something working I can start from and then modify so suit my needs; right now I'm wading in a sea of options and about to drown. To have the options used to compile the at91sam9g20 demo available on linux4sam (apparently contributed by Nicolas Ferre who, I hope, reads this in CC:) would be ok.
Thanks in Advance (and Happy New Year!)

P.S.: The welcome message for the mailing list says to send mail to "buildroot at busybox.net" but it doesn't seem to work. I have to send messages to "buildroot at uclibc.org" instead. What am I doing wrong? Best Regards

The rootfs is one thing. The kernel is another one. You can compile the kernel outside the buildroot project using the same toolchain, start from the config file of 2.6.25 distribuition.

Hi Mauro,
I'm sorry I can't help you with your Eval board but this

I can confirm. My first two mails to this mailing list were in fact not delivered to the list because of the wrong E-Mail address. I resent them after I've read the address others write to to post the mail to the list.
Maybe there others also trying to post to the list but do not succeed:
the correct address to write to is buildroot at uclibc.org

Pretty please, I tried several (dozens of) configurations. Can someone contribute a *surely working* .config file for my board? I started "from the config file of 2.6.25 distribuition" (assuming You mean the one that is available from www.kernel.org) multiple times, never getting to a working kernel.
I really need to start from some "known good" point, otherwise I'm just running circles.

If you use the latest kernel you have the
at91sam9g20ek_defconfig. The pathces for
the at9samg20 are in the official kernel tree starting from the TAG v2.6.27-rc1Quoted 3 lines

Hi,
Thanks.
I know that, unfortunately, for reasons independent of my will, I need to stick to version 2.6.26.
Is there any *easy* way to backport the changes?
Can someone help me?

Apply the two patches of at91sam9g20 to the 2.6.26. You can find in the mailing list:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/13/62
This is the thread I think
