OKVM Source Release 20050215
----------------------------
This release is provides a patch against the uClinux-dist release:

	http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/dist/uClinux-dist-test-20040930.tar.gz

To compile the code, download the distribution above and the patch file,
okvm-source-20050215.diff.gz and perform the following:

	tar xzf uClinux-dist-test-20040930.tar.gz
	cd uClinux-dist-test
	gunzip < okvm-source-20050215.diff.gz | patch -E -p1

You now have a complete source tree.  Before beginning to compile you need
to download and install the appropriate tools if you haven't already.  The
recommended tool package for this release is:

	http://ftp.snapgear.org/pub/snapgear/tools/arm-linux/arm-linux-tools-20031127.tar.gz

The tools are packaged to be extracted from '/' as root.  To install them:

	login as root
	cd /
	tar xzf arm-linux-tools-20031127.tar.gz

Make sure that /usr/local/bin is added to the beginning of the PATH of any
users wishing to use these tools.

To build the sources:

	make config
	  select OpenGear as the Vendor
	  select CM4008 as the Product
	  select linux-2.4.x as the kernel
	  select uClibc as the libc

	  Default all settings (lose changes) (CONFIG_DEFAULTS_OVERRIDE) [N/y/?] N
	  Customize Kernel Settings (CONFIG_DEFAULTS_KERNEL) [N/y/?] N
	  Customize Module Settings (CONFIG_DEFAULTS_MODULES) [N/y/?] N
	  Customize Vendor/User Settings (CONFIG_DEFAULTS_VENDOR) [N/y/?] N
	  Update Default Vendor Settings (CONFIG_DEFAULTS_VENDOR_UPDATE) [N/y/?] N

	make dep
	make

After the make completes you will find an "image.bin" file in the "images"
directory.  This can be loaded into a CM4008 for testing.  The easiest way
to do this is to power the unit up with the "erase" button held in, this
will invoke the boot loader in recovery mode and allow you to network load
the image.bin file.  The other alternative is to netflash the image from a
tftp server by running the following command on the CM4008:

	netflash -i <ip-of-tftp-server> image.bin
