Abstract

ARM microprocessor with a combination of Linux has been widely applied in the embedded area gradually. The article has described the methods and skills on transplanting Linux to ARM S3C2410 microprocessor-based target board. A set of pragmatic method of Linux transplantation has been introduced specifically for small embedded platform, including building cross-compile environment, compiling Bootloader, amending, configuring and compiling Linux kernel and producing cramfs file system and so on. After transplantation of Linux kernel, its size can be controlled in 700KB, which not only retains very nice stability, security but also “loses weight” successfully. Consequently, the difficulty of development in application software and the cost on embedded platform are both reduced.
