The ability to easily customize and expand any portion of the kernel is a feature of Linux that makes it very well suited for embedded systems development. In the embedded environment, specialized hardware, protocols, and systems may require a look into the kernel internals, custom configuration, feature additions, or driver development. This article is not a complete Linux kernel development provides information on custom kernel development for EMAC OE Linux systems, including where to find in-depth
Contents
Downloading the Kernel Source
Getting source from the EMAC git server.
Configuration
Refer to configuration section in the kernel building document. Show how to add / remove options in the config.
Adding Support for a new Carrier Board
Show how to add a carrier board in the 2.6.30 "emac-carrier" structure.
Driver Development
Basic info on driver structure here.
Where to go for Help
LDD3, mailing list, EMAC support.
