RE: blob-cvs-commit digest, Vol 1 #232 - 2 msgs

Hallo All !
 
Now, Im trying to compile blob for "system3" board, but i find that although
i change the board name in ./configure,
the compilation is still done for LART only and with such a blob image, im
not able to boot linux.My board is SA-1110 based.
I find that LART by default, uses sa1100 CPU and related files.Also, it
doesnt use an LCD.
 
With my new board, I have an LCD, CPU is sa1110 and uses SDRAM.
So, I tried to compile for system3.
 
When Im trying to compile blob for system3, by changing the board-name to
system3, I find that the changes have no effect.
I find blob using the same lart related files.
why is this so?
 
The changes made were:
 
In ./configure file:
------------------------
--with-board=system3
--with-linux-prefix=home/sridhar/linux-2.4.20
 
In ./configure.in file:
----------------------------
 
-mtune=strongarm1110
 
In acconfig.h file:
------------------------
 
#define PT_SYSTEM3
#define SA1110
 
I know Chris told me not to tamper with ./configure.in and ./acconfig.h
files and i tried but even that didnt help.
So, after reading "porting.txt", I tried with the above modifications.
 
Now, could someone please tell me what are the changes that i need to do to
compile blob for system3.
I did read the "porting.txt" file also the "README" file.
 
I dont know where im going wrong.
 
Thank You
Sridhar

Sorry for the long mail but could someone please be more specific and tell
me 
what exactly BLOB looks for in a Configured Linux Kernel tree and why?  

I've already explained  why  we use from the kernel tree..  If you want to
know the specific files, look through the source.   

In "configure.in", I changed the --with-board=NAME to --with-board=lart. 

Then in acconfig.h, I changed the #undef LART to #define LART and also
defined CPU as SA1100 

Then in "configure", I changed the --with-board=NAME to --with-board=lart
and 
--with-linux-prefix=/home/sridhar/linux-2.4.20 where i have a configured
Linux kernel tree 
but with not all *.c files available.  

Have you read the README file?? 
 
 Do not modifiy configure.in and acconfig.h.  
 
 Follow the instructions precisely and get blob working, before you  attempt
to "optimize" the process.  
 
I won't help you until further until you *follow the instructions*.
