[Thinstation-developer] Porting Thinstation to i.MX 6Q processor (ARMv7 Cortex-A9 core)

[Matt Z. <ma...@te...>]

Hello,

First of all, thank you very much for the amazing product!
I would like to port Thinstation to ARM (i.MX 6Quad 32-bit processor which
is based on ARMv7 Cortex-A9 core). Right now I'm running Debian 8 (jessie)
on it. Would appreciate any advice on how to start and proceed with
Thinstation porting to this platform. Results will share with Thinstation
community.

Best regards,
Matt

You'll need to bootstrap or (cross?)compile the ARM toolchain that you can
use to start recompiling the necessary core Thinstation/CRUX ports to get a
running development environment.  Then you go through the pain of
recompiling everything.  Expect to spend a lot of time doing this.

Because of some independent updating of the master branch, I doubt you can
recompile everything.  You might have better luck on the 6.1-Unstable
branch, which has been somewhat recently compiled with everything
together.  As it's name implies, it's not quite production ready yet.

Hello Michael,

Thank you very much for your reply. I was able to boot board with crux 3.3,
but a lot of stuff is not working, will report any progress I'll make.

Regards,
Matt
