<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear All;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have a digital satellite receiver (named
Chipbox), which uses linux kernel 2.6.12.5.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Main chipset name is Celestial CSM1203 ( It is
ARM926EJ-S core).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The original kernel source (and all other sources)
can be downloaded here: <A
href="http://www.merihvideo.com.tr/chipbox-source.php">http://www.merihvideo.com.tr/chipbox-source.php</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I would like to add some functionality (Such as
CIFS, USB WIFI...) to my STB. In order to do that, I need to cross compile new
kernel.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>However, the chipset provider ( Celestial) does not
provide a new kernel to do this. They just compiled 2.6.12.5 for about 5-6 years
ago, and they didn't do a new kernel from that time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So, I need your helps:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1) Celestial has done a lot of modifications on the
original 2.6.12.5 source ( drivers, headers, definitions...) All these changes
can be seen by using MELD tool.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2) In order to have a new kernel ( Such as
2.6.35.13) which can be running on my chipbox, what are the steps should be done
one by one?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Can you please explain for a newbie
please?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Best Regards</FONT></DIV>
