Update Microtronix to current Kernel

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

 I know about the disadvantages described here (http://www.nioswiki.com/operatingsystems/uclinux) <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>  --- Quote Start ---  # It is synced up to the latest Linux kernel release, which means improvements, bugfixes and more drivers supported. If you will develope drivers, it is important to keep up.[/b]  --- Quote End ---    but is there a solution to get the new kernel into the Microtronix release?

I don&#39;t see how this would make any sense, as there is no support whatsover for the Microtronix "release" any more.  

What are you trying to accomplish ?   -Michael

This of course is possible using Cygwin.  <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Dschingis @ Jul 30 2009, 10:57 AM) <{post_snapback}> (index.php?act=findpost&pid=23338)</div>  --- Quote Start ---  Cygwin failed in checkout and compiling.[/b]  --- Quote End ---  Of course you need to "port" the toolchain to Cygwin. I have no idea how to do that but you need to compile the gcc3 with the windows host gcc and link it against the Cygwin libraries.  <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Dschingis @ Jul 30 2009, 10:57 AM) <{post_snapback}> (index.php?act=findpost&pid=23338)</div>  --- Quote Start ---  ...i thought an update there shouldn&#39;t be a big deal.[/b]  --- Quote End ---   Good luck :P   -Michael
