I am new in OS boot-loading and embedded Linux world.
I am struggling to boot BLUECAT3.0 Linux kernel on SBC-8260 boards. I built
the kernel and created a kernel.kdi file using 'mkboot' command. I
downloaded the compressed binary at RAM location that matched with start of
TEXT segment specified in the makefile. ( KERNELLOAD= 0x1000000 , e.g. )
Executing a "go" from 0x100000c ( corresponding to __start, as per the map
file ), causes exeption trap after executing few instructions.
Is the way of booting incorrect, or
Are some configuration not correct in the sourcecode ?
(I find it difficult to walk through the exeption.)

Had something similar due to a broken mkboot. Can you get any of the
sample kernels on the BlueCat disk to compile and run? If not you can
try BC tech support - but I found them unhelpful. E-mail me with some
details of your board and I may be able to suggest workarounds.

Daxay,

Is this the new BlueCat 3.0? I wasn't aware it was released
yet. I'm hoping to get my hands on it ASAP for an ARM
project. If you are not affiliated with LynuxWorks... What
is your opinion of it so far?

Thanks,
