This isn't related to the development of Linux for the GameCube, but it is related to the development of Linux for another Nintendo system ;) To the point: I'm relatively new to doing any kind of kernel hacking, linux porting, etc... I know how to use Linux, and I can program most languages you can throw at me (i.e. C/C++), though. So can anyone give me some hints or directions on how to begin porting Linux to an unsupported system? Since the target system is a nintendo system I figured asking for help here would be the best place. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. |

Documentation for your platform helps, really. The more you have at your disposal, the better. The next most important step would be getting a working toolchain for your target platform. For this, I recommend just grabbing the uClibc toolchain builder from: http://uclibc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/toolchain/ and letting it do it's magic.
