[gentoo-embedded] Embedded gentoo on Intel PXA2xx

[gentoo-embedded] Embedded gentoo on Intel PXA2xx

[Jacob Smit]

I am currently designing an embedded system based on Intel's PXA2xx
processors.

Does embedded gentoo currenlty support this processor and if so, how do I go
about getting the kernel source and setting up the cross compiling
environment.

Thanks in advance
Jacob Smit

Yes, PXA2xx is armv5te, so you can use any arm toolchain. Personally
I'm running gentoo on PXA261 and it works fine.

You can also take a look at OpenEmbedded, but I prefer gentoo's
portage because it's less buggy and more usable.

Well that is good news :)

What bootloader do you use?

Could I know what is your rootdisk choice? Are you using busybox
(baselayout-lite)
or a full system layout?
I'm using a baselayout and I've had a lot of trubles on tweaking bootscipts...

Uh, that's Palm Tungsten T3 handheld, so I use a hack for PalmOS to
boot linux. However u-boot works fine too.

Currently I'm using full baselayout (baselayout-lite requires lots of
modifications to work correctly).

armv5te... anyone trying to slap Gentoo as-is onto a Sharp Zaurus Cxx00 series?

I have working  gentoo installation on my iPAQ hx4700
Iuse crossdev to generate toolchain... 
Now there is overlay for this deveice and other arm handhelds
You can browse it ftp://gentoo.ru/hx4700/portage
There is some  working stages for handhelds on this ftp

There's also embedded gentoo overlay on hackndev.com. Maybe it would
be useful to gather all embedded overlays into one (is there any
official gentoo-embedded overlay)?

Ok... Can you give me link to overlay on hackndev.com
As I know there is no official overlay for embedded systems
Overlay on gentoo.ru  contains some patches for X and other programs

It contains only Qt stuff that we're working on now (5-6 ebuilds IIRC).

Yesterday  we made overlay for pdas such as iPAQ hx4700
It contains some pda stuff ( gpe fbreader )
And some e-related stuff
use
svn co svn://gentoo.ru/hx4700/portage
to add this overlay
