crosstool-ng configuration for K4NT
Hi all,
as I wasn't able to find on the Web an existing crosstool-ng configuration to use to build a toolchain for my Kindle 4 NT, I decided to share mine: it recommends gcc 4.5.4 Linaro (since /proc/version says 4.5.3 Linaro), eglibc 2.12 (as per Amazon sources), plus the original kernel sources (again, from Amazon) and the latest non-experimental binutils (I don't think this really matters). Here you can find the configuration, and here a little post on my blog describing it (nothing new, I think, for this community ); you have to adjust the paths for the output directory and the kernel sources, of course. If this information was already somewhere in the forum, sorry for the duplicate |

Bumping an 'old' thread here, sorry .
This has come up a few times in the past, mostly between twobob, knc1 & me, so some of it should come up in a search . That said, one of the easiest way is simply to use Mentor Graphic's Sourcery CodeBench Lite ToolChain, with the proper CFLAGS (more on that later). For the more adventurous, I personally use a bleeding-edge Linaro TC built with crosstool-ng. The config & build scripts (which I encourage anyone building a Kindle X-TC to read, at least the env setup part) should answer most of the questions one might have about the preferred FLAGS, and the various TC Amazon used on specific devices. Like I said, bleeding-edge, so it implies some hand-holding sometimes, especially for stuff targeting older devices (K2/DX/K3), read the script . Said script is available in the gigantic hack thread, in the tarball named kindle-x-tc-YYYY.MM.N.tar.gz, where YYYY.MM is the Linaro release used. Last edited by NiLuJe; 07-05-2013 at 11:52 AM. |
