i2c linux kernel

[alexanderhaensch]

I am trying to compile an i2c enabled kernel with the sources from
http://www.bootc.net/projects/raspberry-pi-kernel/#How_to_install

now i get the problem that im missing arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-ld.

Where can i find this tool?

[alexanderhaensch]

found a possible solution by symlinking:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ln -s /usr/bin/objdump /usr/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-objdump
ln -s /usr/bin/ld /usr/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-ld
ln -s /usr/bin/ar /usr/bin/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-ar
')

Please post here if you get the 3.2 kernel from bootc running. I have build it thousand times and never got it to boot, not even the one that cames in the deb package. But the I2C stuff has been backported to the offical 3.1 kernel too, and should be included in the package in the repos.

So i compiled the kernel succesfully, BUT i think the kernel does not find the modules.
i have NO keyboard!
i have NO ethernet!

I think i have to recompile with more buildin modules....

any ideas how to fix this?

Look at your .config file, is tempfs there?

And devtmpfs ?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'A')nd devtmpfs ?

i2c-dev is now included by default in the latest kernel, compiling your own may not be necessary any longer. I've tested it with i2c-tools and it works great.
