uClinux ARM-ELF Toolchain Building Procedure


Hi Friends,

I am trying to build the latest version (gcc 4.3.2, binutils-2.19, etc..) arm-elf toolchain to build the image for uClinux distribution package "uClinux-dist-20040408.tar.gz". I am not able to get the exact build procedure with appropriate options.

So i started my research in the following way..

In web, i found arm-elf toolchain binaries "arm-elf-tools-20040427.sh". But no where, they talk about the building procedure.

In another link "http://www.uclinux.org/~bkuhn/Toolch...f-0.9.5-2.spec", they describe the procedure for arm-elf tool chain. Using that, i was able to build that, but while compiling the uClinux-dist package i got assemble error.

Then i noticed that, binutils and linux kernel versions are not same as that in the arm-elf-tool-20040427.sh binary script.

So i downloaded the right packages from the web and followed the building procedure in the earlier link. I faced some header file inclusion error in the uClibc compilation. That has been sorted out by modifying the Makefile appropriately. Finally i got the arm-elf tool chain, that compile uClinux-dist package successfully and i got the linux and romfs images.

While execute the image in ARMulator (gdb5.0) i got the following error.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ttyS0 at 0xfffd0000 (irq = 2) is a builtin Atmel APB USART
ttyS1 at 0xfffcc000 (irq = 3) is a builtin Atmel APB USART

VFS: Mounted root (romfs filesystem) readonly.

BINFMT_FLAT: reloc outside program 0x9023adc (0 - 0xffed42fc/0x7580), killing init!
BINFMT_FLAT: reloc outside program 0x9023adc (0 - 0xffed42fc/0x7580), killing init!
BINFMT_FLAT: reloc outside program 0x2e312e31 (0 - 0x129788/0x12730), killing sh!
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Please suggest me, where i went wrong. The only changes i made in the arm-elf tool chain (instead of using binaries, i built myself), other than that uClinux-dist and ARMulator are not modified. I am following the below link for reference.

Thanks in advance,
