But _why_ would you port it? What is the reason behind that? That's just a lot of work for no reason. On 29 Aug 2014 17:53, "Ravi Raj" <nrnraviraj@gmail.com> wrote:
Hii Valdis, Thank you for the response.We dont want to buy a board with pre-configured linux, that is the first point why i asked you guys for help, i googled too, i also got hundreds of boards with lot of board support packages,every board support package varies from the development board, so just as simple as it "i just want a recommendation from you guys a good development board where i can port linux from scratch!!"
Cheers, Ravi.

Thank you for the response ,So the project is a communication between fpga and a imx6 Arm A9 processor using SPI
protocol
and we are making a custom board for this, so first step is to find an imx6 Arm a9 board and port linux to it and then establish SPI.
Heck, these guys already have ANdroid Kitkat up and running:

Hii Kristofer, We want to design our own coustom board and we dont want to depend on the Board support package vendors. But just for a doubt Has any one ever tried porting a linux kernal in Kernal newbies group it would be great to get some feedback from you guys. Cheers, Ravi.

I don't think any vendor forces you to use their support. You can buy any board and develop your own Linux support for it, completely ignoring whatever BSP the vendor provides. But as others already mentioned: This seems like a lot of redundant work for no point whatsoever. At least no point I get... Bjørn

It's GPL. So you buy the board, get the initial copy of the kernel already ported, and then do your own work from there. Oh - and if you don't follow the terms of the GPL when you ship the product, we'll have to hunt you down and sue you. So make sure you have proper plans for GPL compliance when you ship. :)
ok!! thank you guys for the responses, seeing some websites like this http://linuxinsomnia.wordpress.com/how-to-port-linux-to-a-raw-arm-board/ i thought i can manage to port Linux, yeah I am wrong. so i will follow the same as you guys!!! Have a great weekend Cheers, Ravi. On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 6:43 PM, <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> wrote:
