Hi, List
I see that we have kernel for mips malta , but I'd like build a kernel for mips 32
# cat /proc/cpuinfo system type : Realtek Venus processor : 0 cpu model : MIPS 4KEc V6.4
4KEc is a common core found in various SoCs. According to http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Realtek_SOC , Realtek has some MIPS based chips that supported by linux-mips.
more info of "my player" http://rtd1261.wikidot.com/ is a rtd1261. Is running a kernel 2.6.12-VENUS which a kernel modified by Realteak it self, I think. Some of support for realtek wireless has been add to main kernel much more later, so I have a little hope , with a newer kernel I can have support for "my player". rtd1261 also have busybox as OS. So seems, at this point, is not so hard put there a new kernel :) .
I am studying (as hobby) put a newer kernel on a multimedia player

So can we build a kernel for a mispel ?
A linux-mips kernel can be downloaded by http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Getting_the_kernel . The latest release is 2.6.35.
I have others questions like why a kernel 2.6.26 ? and not newer ? Basically because some hardware support may need kernels newer.
The latest kernel RPM of Fedora-MIPS is kernel-vanilla-2.6.35-85.fc13.mips64el.rpm that can be downloaded from http://lazyfai.dyndns.org/Fedora-13-RPMS-MIPS/Packages/ . However, whatever version it is, it is not for your player. Currently Fedora-MIPS kernel can boot only on Loongson2F-based nettops and netbooks.
yes, I know is not for my player ,
Find and build a suitable kernel for your player from linux-mips.org, not from Fedora-MIPS. And, the user space packages are compiled against mips3 and abi=n32. I don't know if they can be run on 4KEc. Maybe you can have a try ;)
but kernel-vanilla-2.6.35-85.fc13.src.rpm , can't be compile to mipsel arch ? What I need ? With buildroot , I can build many apps (on fedora13) that work in the box, but boot a new kernel, I still have some doubts.
Thanks,
