Buildroot halts for kernel config file of board

parag_opensrc · 09-17-2009, 03:43 AM

i'm using at91sam9263ek and building image with buildroot , i've selected the option Atmel Board support from target options in menuconfig .
Buildroot halts saying that a file named at91sam9263ek-linux-2.29.4.config is missing in /home/phytec/Store/Buildroot/buildroot-2009.05/target/device/Atmel/at91sam9263ek
since i'm using 2.6.29.4 kernel to build , but available file is at91sam9263ek-linux-2.6.28.2.config
I dont think renaming the file will solve the problem because there a major version difference between .28 and .29 .
I've got 2.6.28.10 kernel can i build with this kernel and then rename the existing at91sam9263-linux-2.6.28.2.config and use it ,will it work , i've got to use this kernel because i simply cannot find out from where buildroot automatically downloads the 2.6.28.10 version (since in the menuconfig kernel is choosen as 2.6.28.X)

thanks

I think, there are some bugs in " Buildroot "

And I guess that the maintained and updated version
of buildroot can be found in ' crosstool-NG ' :
http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/dokuwiki/projects/crosstool
.. last update three weeks ago.

Crosstool-NG is the ( only ) recommended, maintained
cross tool to consider.
