Jornada 820 bootimage

"BUILD ENVIRONMENT

The Makefile ought to contain everything you need to build the bootimage. For hacking, an optional script "please" helps you do things with the kernel tree. [...]

The toolchain is based on uClibc - http://www.uclibc.org/ [...]

RAMDISKIMAGE USAGE

The ramdisk that is built by this Makefile has the following usage:
* lots of functions are defined in /etc/functions -- see by yourself
* you may add your own additional functions in /etc/functions.local
* Use "standalone" to configure linux for standalone usage with the ramdisk.
* Use "rootfs" to chain-boot into your first Linux partition on CF.
* The ramdisk will automatically attempt to "rootfs" at startup, unless you
create a file or directory named "noautomount" in your WinCE partition.
* We have mkfs.minix and fsck.minix in busybox. No ext2 support, sorry.
To build an ext2 filesystem, you'll have to use a CF reader on your PC,
or to NFS mount a filesystem with your ext2 utilities.
* Busybox is packed up with lots of functionality. Check it out!
* To free the memory occupied by the ramdisk, your rootfs will need to run
the program blockdev, which is part of the util-linux debian package.

* With kernel 2.6, you must use cat /proc/modules instead of lsmod"
