How to transplant the linux to Development Board(mini2440)

hi everyone
I want to port a linux kernel to my Development Board(mini2440).i have read many of blogs about mini2440 and
try to do some step accord it said .but i'm failed to build an linux kernel for my board. so i want to detail information about kernel transplantation.
thanks everyone to send message and give ideas for me.

Kind of Confused.

You want to build your own kernel?
-If you want to do that I recommend a tool such as buildroot or openembedded. It makes kernel building for embedded devices as well as a rootfs easy.
Where are you getting stuck with porting your kernel
writing it to nand?
kernel boots but no messages?

If you want to transplant the kernel from one board to another that may be tricky?
-mini2440 use u-boot (a custom u-boot fork- the one that ships with buildroot will not work due to the stepping stone issue) you could possible get into the u-boot
run mtdparts find the partition on the board and it's size read the partition into memory and write it to a FAT32 usb drive. That or Jtag the board and dump the whole nand flash

What are you trying to do exactly

Thanks you advise.I'm sorry it does much more clear!
yes,i want to transplant the kernel(which compiler in PC) to my board(mini2440).
When i compiler linux-2.6.29 kernel on pc ,it seem that does include some library file.
I just start to Embedded Linux,so it have many of problem.thank very much you give me some information.

Hi wenlan,

The Board Support Package and Documentation at http://www.oselas.org/oselas/bsp/pen...40_bsp_en.html might be helpful for you.

There is also a quick start manual

Have fun
