I wanted to know if someone has made a firmware from sources.
- Do you compile yourself the toolchain or do you use the toolchain from bitswitcher web site ?
My problem with this toolchain is that it includes kernel headers 2.6.11 whereas the firmware include
kernel 2.6.8 ? Do you think i can use buildroot-0.9.27 (which include
kernel headers 2.6.8) ?
- Does the kernel 2.6.8 come from broadcom or www.linux-mips.org/ ? If it
comes from the latter, do you think the kernel can be upgraded to a more
recent version ? That would allow to use a more recent toolchain including
gcc 4, as kernel 2.6.8 does not compile with gcc 4 ?
Thank you for your answers
