Last post in this blog was weeks ago!
I’ve been far from internet for a while but also not far from my thesis!
What I worked out:

  1. Ethernet support (SMSC 9118) with nfs root capability.
  2. MMC/SD card device support (SDHC).

Since now I worked on Frame buffer support with discrete success (Logo displayed on the screen), but THE problem is not solved! THE problem is that with the latest kernel, the distro given from Atmark crashes in early init process! with no chances of debugging!
The only things that I know are the lists of files that the init process try to load from the nfs root before it crash without outputs.

I think it is a conflict between the new kernel and the precompiled C libraries stored in the root directory.
So now I’m working for building a compatible distro from Openembedded hoping this process is painless :p

Bye!
