Support for MPC8323E-RDB

[narreddisivapra]

Hi,

I am using MPC8323E-RDB board and I want to build Linux and Root File System for this board. As you suggested in CD, I tried with LTIB but we are getting some issues with LTIB. So I want to move forward with Buildroot to build linux and RFS images. Is this MPC8323E-RDB supports Buildroot.? is buildroot is supported, which version buildroot is that.? and let us know are there any another ways to build linux image for this target board.?

Please, reply as soon as possible.

Thanks and Regards,

Siva Prakash Reddy

Sir,
      Thanks for your help.

Now, I am geting some other issue while configuring using "./ltib --configure" as follows..

1. when I configuring "Choose your toolchain" as "gcc-3.4.3 glibc-2.3.4 soft float e300c2 powerpc", I am getting following error
message..

please help us in understanding these issues.

Why "kernel-2.6.20-mpc832x_rdb " affected at point-1 and "glibc" at
point-2.? But I did not get any issues when I configured for "Choose
your toolchain" as "gcc-4.2.1 eglibc-2.5 multilib PowerPC toolchain"
and "Choose the target C library type" as "C library package (from
toolchain only)", why it is behaving like this.?

Thanks and Regards,

Look at the following pages:

kernel - How do I list loaded Linux module parameter values? - Server Fault 

How to list all loadable kernel modules? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange 

How to display or show information about a Linux Kernel module or drivers 

Have a great day,

Hi sir,

        I am using MPC8323E-RDB board and trying to build Linux and RFS for this board using iso image downloaded from freescale website. First I ran ./ltib successfully and then I ran "./ltib --configure" and configured required settings, but it is showing error message as below. Please, check the error and help us in understanding and solving that issue

Hi,

     I had build ltib and configured successfully. While configuration, I had selected helloworld module but how can I check module installed or not through console view?  I logged into kernel and searched through lsmod command, but i didn't get any module list?

Thanks&Regards,

Siva Prakash.

Is there any other support, like ELDK, OpenEmbedded, available for MPC8323E-RDB.?

[alexander_yakov]

We support only what is provided in our Linux BSP. For this board our BSP is based on LTIB.

Using Buildroot may be possible, but this is out of scope of this support.
