Getting started

I finally started my blog on embedded system development. I'm gonna use this blog to keep a record of whatever I'm experiencing during my embedded system development. I hope this can be a valuable resource for whoever are interested in embedded system learning and development.

If I have a contract, I'll be just working on the contract. If I don't have any on hand, I'm just doing whatever I feel like to do. So the blogs will not be in any specific order, and usually there will be no dependencies from one topic to another.

So I'll start from the thing I'm doing now, to compile a uClinux kernel and run it on a Freescale Codefire dev board uC5272. The spec of the board can be found at: http://www.arcturusnetworks.com/products/uc5272/

The build process is straight forward based on the instruction. But when I configure the kernel as the first step, I got problem.

The make xconfig give me the error:
"... make: wish: Command not found ..."

It turned out that my Linux doesn't have tk 8.3 intalled. Strange! I have to find it and install it.
