How to build the kexec too for ARM11 using the cross compiler.

How to build the kexec too for ARM11 using the cross compiler.

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 371 bytes --]

Hi,
I am trying to build kexec tool for ARM11.  I can't see any doc that
helps to configure. The cross compiler is used, and I tried the
following configure option, 
./configure arm --prefix=/usr --build=arm-none-linux-gnueabi
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi
but failed.
Anyone can help ?

Hi,

When cross-compiling for arm the following works for me:

autoheader
autoconf
./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnu

In what way is what you are trying failing?
And are you trying to build natively or cross-compile?

I am trying to build cross-compile, on a ubuntu server. 
After I read through the INSTALL file, I came up the following configure option.
./configure arm --prefix=/usr --build=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
And after setting the environment variables, such as CC, BUILD_CC and etc., it works.

After the successful build, I tried the kexec out using the following command.
#kexec -l /unit_tests/zImage_mx35_430 --append="noinitrd co
nsole=ttymxc0,115200 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.192.225.211:/tools/rootfs/b04597/r
ootfs_mx35 rw ip=dhcp no_console_suspend"

After execute the a currently loaded kernel, error occur again.
The log is as below.

MXC Watchdog # 0 shutdown
Starting new kernel
Bye!
Uncompressing Linux...........................................................................................................................

crc error

 -- System halted


BTW, your configure works fine for ARM on my side too.
Thanks...

The failure of the KEXEC on ARM1136

[Lai Weilin-B04597]

Hi Simon,
I am trying to get kexec working on an ARM1136 using the 2.0.1 version of the KEXEC.

The loading seems to work ok. On "kexec -e", I see:

Starting new kernel
Uncompressing Linux...................................................................................................

crc error

 -- System halted

Have you ever seen this kind of failure ? 


Best Regards.

Not that I recall. The only ARM hardware I have is a Treo (i can check the
model when I get home). Would it be worth me trying to reproduce it on that hw?

It seemed that your second kernel has collapsed.

I don't know why there is a "Uncompressing Linux" print here , as far
as I know, the second kernel is in the form of vmlinux, not uImage or
others.

I am using the zImage instead of vmlinux. Thanks. I will try it out.

No. It doesn't work either... 
Any more suggestions ?
