Re: [Ltib] Re: mpc8548cds build problems on CentOS 5

[Steve Papacharalambous]

Hi Mark,

I think that the problem is fixed by the patch that you mention, but
then the build will probably fail further on since the dts files in this
kernel are the old version and ltib has a later version of the dtc
compiler which requires the dts files to be at dts-v1.

The tools in ltib have been upgraded and unfortunately this BSP has not
been maintained by its authors, and so this version of the kernel is too
old for the latest versions of the compilers and tools.  It's worth
asking Freescale if they would submit the changes needed to get this BSP
to build and boot.

You options in the meantime are:

- Port the mpc8548cds dts file in the 2.6.23 kernel to the later dts-v1
version.

- Use a later kernel from kernel.org, I suspect that 2.6.30 will build
and work.

For what it's worth I managed to get linux-2.6.27.6 to build and boot on
the mpc8548cds platform.

Best regards,

Steve
