I'm trying to set up an embedded system for a device like a iPaq Pocket PC H5550. I'm using multistrap to create a armel filesystem. I would like to know what kind of kernel to download. Below are what I imagine to be my options.
My question is, which one do I choose? I have a linux distro called 'familiar' on there (which I intend to replace) and the present kernel, a zImage, is labled as 'zImage-2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh41.1' This means nothing to me, maybe someone can point out for me what I should be taking from the name. Thanks.
I wanted to try a pre-compiled image first. I do think I will have to compile my own at some time, but it takes a lot of time and I thought I'd be able to get started faster this way. Do none of the selections seem to fit an iPaq H5550??
