[Prism54-devel] Crosscompiling for prism54?

[Gerhard Weiß]

Hi there,

this might be a newbie question, but I started on Linux only a few 
weeks ago...

I've got an i386 Linux for compiling a kernel for an PPC405 system 
(which we build from scratch). This works quite good so far. Until now, 
we compiled all driver statically into the kernel.

Now I've got a couple of Prism54 mini-pci cards here, which I like to 
incorporate, so first step was to upgrade to 2.4.23-pre9 (done). But 
after compiling in the prism stuff (statically again) it doesn't seem 
to find the card, while I can see the card pretty well (lspci as well 
as from bootloader).

So, is static linking of the prism driver supported at all? If, so, 
there does the matching start from? Currently I cannot find the point 
where the first device matching should happen (since here I should 
start debugging, right?)

If only driver modules should work - would anybody be so kind to 
explain or point me into the right direction, how to set up that module 
stuff when cross-compiling the kernel?

Thank you very much,

Gerd.
