Normal == '''Project Release 0.3''' ==I released my SBR600 project version 0.3. I tested my last package several times and it worked successfully. It was actually an extension of my project version 0.2. Not only I changed version 0.2 to works with any kernel, including the new kernels, but also I merged my package with primary kernel package. So, when the Arch is ARM, it installs my package (RPM-based kernel for ARM) and when the Arch is something else, it works as a regular kernel installation. In other words, I could create a RPM-based kernel for ARM which was my project. I built my package on both ARM and Primary architecture to make sure that it works. This is the output of ll command before installing of last version of kernel in my ARM board: [root@fedora-arm khosro]# ll /boot/ total 7824 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 14 2011 grub -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2071652 Apr 14 2011 initramfs-2.6.32.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2071652 Apr 14 2011 initramfs.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1909048 Apr 14 2011 uImage-2.6.32 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1909048 Apr 14 2011 uImage.bin And here is the output of ll command after installing my package which shows the new files: (pay attention to link files): [root@fedora-arm ~]# ll /boot/ total 11900 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 14 2011 grub -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2071652 Apr 14 2011 initramfs-2.6.32.img -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 2070985 Dec 31 1999 initramfs-2.6.35.img -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 2070985 Dec 31 1999 initramfs.img -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1909048 Apr 14 2011 uImage-2.6.32 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 2003236 Apr 21 2011 uImage-2.6.35 -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 2003236 Apr 21 2011 uImage.bin The 2.6.35 is the last version of kernel up to this point that I wrote this blog. Now, this is the output of booting my ARM board with new kernel (also, pay attention to “uname” command after logging to system): :Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 80200000 ... '''Image Name: Linux-2.6.35 '''Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)'''''' Data Size: 2003172 Bytes = 1.9 MB Load Address: 80008000 Entry Point: 80008000 Verifying Checksum ...
