README

This fork of linux-emcraft repo contains support for STM32F746G-DISCO board.

initdir contains a builed busybox from https://www.busybox.net/downloads

Steps to make the uImage :

1) use `make stm32f746_disco_defconfig' to configure a kernel configuration with
support following STM32 IPs: USART, LTDC (framebuffer).
2) `sudo tar xf initdir.tar', to extract initdir.tar to initdir directory.
 Note: use `sudo' to ensure `tar' will succesfull create dev nodes.
3) `export ARCH=arm'
4) `export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-uclinuxeabi-'
 Note: arm-uclinuxeabi-* toolchain may be in your path.
 Note: arm-uclinuxeabi- toolchain provided by sourcery in link[1]
5) `make', to compile kernel
6) to create loadable uImage:
   `mkimage -A arm -a 0xc0008000 -e 0xc0008001 -n 'Linux kernel0' -C none -T kernel -d arch/arm/boot/Image networking.uImage'


Current status contains drivers for: 

* lcd framebuffer
