Purpose
#######
! This directory contains the GCC 4.3
! toolchain and the Linux 2.6 kernel
for the Sony Playstation 2.
! The files are still in development phase.
! Status - Unfinished
! ###################
The 32-Bit kernel can start a full Debian 5.0
! mipsel. Most stuff is working. CDVD is not
! working.
! The 64-Bit kernel is not usable because
! of 64/32-Bit TLB problems.
The 32 bit kernel can execute ABI n32 ELF files,
but some structures in syscalls are different.
! Not everything will work.
With ABI o32 ELF files there is no problem.

The toolchain can build the Linux kernel and
programs for PS2 Linux. The toolchain uses
! uClibc. Static linking is recommended.
The toolchain requires a Linux to be installed
on the host computer. A Debian like system is
recommended (e.g. Kubuntu).
- The files in ubuntu-toolchain are obsolete and
- should not be used.
The files in simple-toolchain are currently
developed.

This is a Linux kernel for the PS2.
To build the kernel, you need to
have the toolchain installed and
execute the following steps:
! cd linux-2.6.35.4-mipsel-ps2
cp ../kernelconfig-linux-2.6.35.4-mipsel-ps2.txt .config
make oldconfig
make vmlinux

! Buildroot is an environment that can build a Linux distribution.

- Linux 2.6 Patch
- ###############
- Run the following command if you want
- to generate a patch file which include
- all changes which I made:
- cvs -z3 rdiff -u -r start -r HEAD linux/linux-2.6.35.4-mipsel-ps2 >linux-2.6.35.4-mipsel-ps2.patch

- 64-bit kernel
- #############
-
- Don't use the 64 bit kernel. Use the 32 bit
- kernel instead. The 32 bit kernel supports
- executing 64 bit programs with MIPS ABI n32.
