[Ipodlinux-devel] updated kernel patch available

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi all,

I've just uploaded a new kernel patch that reflects the current head of
the tree in CVS.  The firewire patches are in there directly now rather
than having to download extra parts and hand-patch.

The following host side patch to drivers/ieee1394/eth1394.c though is
still required to get TCP/IP going.  (This is a patch to a vanilla
2.4.20 kernel).

Also available now in CVS are the uClinux-dist "vendor" files.  If you
drop them into a source release for uClinux then you can simply build
all your binaries for the iPod.  The build documentation online has some
more details.

I'll put together binary releases in the next couple of days.

cheers,
bern.
