Making a custom 2.6 kernel for the TS-7260
curl -O ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7200-linux/sources/tskernel-2.6.21-ts-src.tar.gz
tar -zxvf tskernel-2.6.21-ts-src.tar.gz
cd linux-2.6.21-ts
edit the Makefile:
- ARCH ?= arm
- CROSS_COMPILE ?= /usr/local/arm-linux-gnu/bin/arm-linux-gnu-
make ts72xx_defconfig
If you want, you can edit the default options. For instance, enabling usb serial conversion as a module, so that you can modprobe ftdi_sio and get usb/serial support. 'MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE DEBUGGING HEADER SUPPORT!' Otherwise, your kernel will be huge and/or your modules won't work on other systems.
make menuconfig
then make the kernel
makemake zImagmake modules
The final product is found in "arch/arm/boot" and is called "zImage". You can now copy all the modules to TARGET_DIR with:
make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=TARGETDIR
If you were just compiling the kernel so you can get the ftdi_sio module, you'll find it in drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko
