Sorry for a lame question, but i've got a problem. I've compiled a simple hello-world application using arm-gcc 3.4.3 (compiled under x86 linux using gcc compiler for ARM) with default settings. When I was trying to start it under Universal, I got the message 'Invalid instruction' (or something like that).
Please provide me with a working example (command-line arguments for building and etc) or some instructions on build process, if anybody has one.
Thanks.

You don't tell where does the gcc-3.4.3 come from.
With the 3.4.1 stadalone toolchain from
ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/projects/toolchain
it is just
Code:
/usr/local/arm/3.4.1/bin/arm-linux-gcc -o hello hello.c
If you want to compile GUI apps or big packages, then you should read
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/GettingStarted
I downloaded it from www.gnuarm.com. It worked OK when compiled ROM images for my ARM7TDMI-based boards.
Thanks for the link, I'll try it today.
And, finally, another lame question: did anybody tried to build gcc 4.1 for cross-compiling from x86 to ARM? Or it is possible to use the script from the FTP to build it?
Anyone see or know of any development of a basic version of Ubuntu or other Linux distro on a Windows Mobile device? I see people putting Windows 98 on their PPCs, but why not Linux? Isn't there a mobile version of Ubuntu specifically targeting MIDs? Couldn't that be used as a base?
Search my friend, there is Xanadux.

i read that the kernel is same wont that help porting andriod with respect to some drivers change!!!
no one answered
the problem is our first developer can't keep the android project...
hi
how can i debug this files and run???
currently I'm trying to cross-compile a most recent wildfire kernel I found on htc server using a configuration I personally made for our mega. The problem is there are many errors in the source code...
re.:
In my opinion we start build android from beginning. My problem is in my OS on my PC. I have Windows XP and building and modifing found only on Linux. I find this page with porting guide. It is step by step How to create boot screen, How to setup Connectivity...
source.android.com/porting/bring_up.html
On this page are programs for debug and download android source code...
Anyone write.
Move to general as not rom development
I'm using linux, this is why I want to try to cross-compile a kernel for our device, like I just said, source code has a large number of errors, I don't know why...
if you are interested, I can share the kernel configuration I made myself...
Now I install Ubuntu 10. It was compilation found in this version of Linux??? Where programs can I download? Now I have Git, Eclipse and Python 2.7. How can I install .tar packs on Ubuntu zito882000?
if you are new as a linux user it's quite difficult to explain, you need gcc plus the same programs a normal user has to compile a kernel.
The difference is in the way of compilation, a parameter that does a compilation for arm architectures....do you have some kernel compilation experience?

windows is gold.
with compilation i haven't any experience. I only begin in programming languages C, C++ and VB. I compile only my apps in visual studio. And i have nice experience with photoshop.
it isn't exactly the same thing, in a kernel you have a large number of drivers to compile, not a only one program...
Here cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-26.html you can find a simple guide!
The most important part is the command "make" that need some different parameters to do a cross-compilation for ARM processors ^^
thx
I saw the instructions and understand him. If I somehow help you write to my icq: 484038954 or Skype: vasek-smekal.
So far, thanks
I just bought an HTC Hero with native android.
If you want to try again I share with you my kernel configuration file and a link where you can download the kernel source I used.
(remember to rename "config.txt" in ".config" with the point and without the extension)
KERNEL SOURCE -> http://developer.htc.com/ (must choose "HTC Wildfire - Froyo - 2.6.32 kernel source code")
ARM LINUX GCC -> http://www.handhelds.org/download/projects/toolchain/archive/arm-linux-gcc-3.3.1-030820.tar.bz2
Is it possible to port Embedded Debian http://www.emdebian.org/ on HD2?
I think it must run much better than ubuntu, because ubuntu uses the same base as debian, but too fat!..
Gonna explore about this.. Thanks!
I can compile a Linux kernel for this ereader and install a linux distro?
and drivers (touch, wifi ...)?
or I can modify and compile a kernel android and use it as linux and compiling the necessary programs?
the request may seem inconclusive but the distro that I use has just released the toolchain for the arm architecture ( http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index...c,13835.0.html ) and I would try to make it work on nook simple touch.
Thanks!

There have been other efforts along this line, but none successful that I'm aware of. I believe the touch screen drivers are a major stumbling block.

Thanks for the answer, strangely I do not get the feedback messages and I did not realize you had answered me.
the nook should not be open source? and in the worst case we could not reuse the driver taking full with no changes?
