Thanks for this Fosdem embedded week-end

[Henrion Benjamin <bh@udev.org>]

Hi all,

I would like to thanks all the people who organised the embedded
session, and all the people who have participated in the room.

My current projects in embedded:

1. booting a ppc kernel on the voip you've probably seen + BDM access on
this mpc850
2. making a first shop of emdeb, and maybe having the linuxap.ksmith.com
using emdebian
3. searching for funding to make a cigar board for making cheap (under
100eur) xterminals (I'm looking for a SoC with sound, eth, usb, vga; if
you know something nice); if you have 10.000eur to invest in this
project, contact me
4. ordering one arm9 devboard in China (100eur) here:

5. building an usb-jtag device with driver for linux

I want to raise several questions about emdebian:

1. Does someone has the right options to build gcc from the toolchain
source? (/usr/mipsel-linux/bin/ld: cannot open crti.o: No such file or
directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libgcc_s.so] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/gcc-mipsel-linux-3.2.3.cvs20030221/build/gcc'
make[2]: *** [libgcc.a] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/gcc-mipsel-linux-3.2.3.cvs20030221/build/gcc'
make[1]: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/src/gcc-mipsel-linux-3.2.3.cvs20030221/build'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2
)

2. Against which version of gcc and uclibc emdebian will be built? It
would be nice to have a fixed building environnement, not to try to play
with many versions of gcc/uclibc... gcc 2.95? 3.0? 3.2?

3. It would be nice to prepare a package with a UML kernel+gcc+uclibc so
has to be completly independant of the root filesystem.

4. create an irc channel #emdebian on irc.debian.org

Thanks for your comments,
