My ‘system disk’ (/dev/sda) started to show bad sectors, recently, and so I decided to replace it.    The disk was around 8 years old, and had been in almost-continuous use.. I have not had to do this for some considerable time, and I think the last time was in the late-90s, and using LILO!  (No convoluted grub2 … Continue reading →

ARM devices on Linux are rapidly moving to use the ‘device tree‘ format to specify the CPU / SoC characteristics at kernel compile time, for producing the boot image…   For systems such as the DreamPlug, this means that the old # make uImage is no longer applicable.. For the DreamPlug, this is an example of the … Continue reading →

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 16, 2013 by RGNovember 16, 2013

I originally wrote an article on cross-compiling for ARM systems, some time ago – before I got my first Raspberry Pi – and this is a more up-to-date version. This is how I cross-compile ARM kernels, on x86_64.  There are – of course – other ways of doing this, but this works, for me.. The following info … Continue reading →
