Building a custom project
To create a custom project, that is a project for your custom hardware, first configure the
default project. Follow the steps described in "Building the Default Project" up to running
configure. Then run:
In this example, ConnectCore 9P 9360 dev module (
cc9p9360dev)was used as the template
project. Substitute the platform that is most similar to the platform you intend to create.
Then create a new build directory and configure for your custom platform:
Check the detected settings are correct in the new run of configure.
Now you can reconfigure your custom kernel by running:
You can build and install the project for the default platform after the previous steps are
complete.
$ ~/LxNETES-3.2/build$ bin/add_platform –b cc9p9360dev custom
$ checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
$ ...
~/LxNETES-3.2/build$ cd ..
~/LxNETES-3.2$ mkdir build_custom
~/LxNETES-3.2$ cd build_custom
~/LxNETES-3.2/build_custom$ ../configure –-enable-platform=custom
...
~/LxNETES-3.2/build_custom$ make xconfig
You need QT installed to run make xconfig (Debian package libqt3-mt-dev). If you don't
have it, use menuconfig (requiring ncurses, Debian package libncurses5-dev).
You have to run make xconfig in the build directory. Running in other directories (e.g.
~/LxNETES-3.2/build_custom, ~/LxNETES-3.2/build_custom/linux, or ~/LxNETES-3.2/
linux) will fail.
