Re: [Gumstix-users] Proud new owner of a Gumstix/netcf

[Cyril B. <cyr...@gm...>]

Hello,

Welcome in the Gumstix's owners team, J.S.!=20

To get the buildroot, I prefer using http download:
http://svn.rungie.com/websvn/dl.php?repname=3DBuildroot&path=3D%2Ftrunk%2F&=
rev=3D0&isdir=3D1
Then going in the directory and typing make.

The main problem for you will certainly be to understand how to flash the=
=20
gumstix.=20
(But it's not a big deal)

Looking at your configuration you've got no MMC connector and you will need=
=20
to transfer the=20
new root_fs via the serial port (I hope you are patient ;-).=20
Did you get a serial cable null modem, mindin8 to DB9 to complete the data=
=20
transfer?=20

And in the link Darren gave you:=20
http://www.gumstix.org/tikiwiki/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=3D3&comm=
ents_parentId=3D101
follow only the last part: Replace Gumstix entire file-system (including=20
kernel) via Kermit=20

Cyril
