Thanks Manohar.

Where can I get the list of supported CPU family types for ARM
architecture like ARM5, ARM7, ARM926EJ etc. In case of Power
Architecture (PPC) there is a list as shown in the below link at ELDK
site
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/ELDKSupportedTargetArchitectures

The same is also mentioned in the table at 3.6.A Table of possible
values for $CROSS_COMPILE section of the ELDK at
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/ELDKUsage

For us, ARM9 is suitable.

Thanks and Regards,
