yeah, I know it's hard to believe I've landed here, given my limited experience
anways, I'm at work so details later.
but I wondered if anybody has successfully compiled anything for SMP
I'm particularly interested in getting busybox and some of the other basic util's updated
so a few of my test
1. extract updated version of busybox from 1.12.14_WDLXTV_PALACE-0.0.2.zip
and try it on 2.01.86-EXT3_Palace_Stock_Plus-0.0.4
I did not expect this to work, but it's an easy test, and it did not work
likely due to updated kernel in 2.01.86
so next GPL source code from WD's site has 2 versions of busybox
busybox 1.10.xx
busybox 1.10.xx primary system
I dont' know what the difference is
2. compiled busybox 1.10.xx
resolved some missing lib issues
but I still get seg fault
3. compiled busybox 1.10.xx primary system
seg fault
4. download update source code from busybox.net
cross compile using WD's tool chain
error, unexpected ')'
or something like that
anyways
initial plan was to start by building 1.10.xx from WD GPL code available
and then include more applets, the version of busybox included by WD is pretty slimmed down and is missing a lot of stuff
then once that was stable, look to update to busybox 1.22.1
anyways the final test I ran, was more of out curiosity
since the env was all set up
I tried to compile complete firmware from WD source code, just for the heck of it, to see if it would complete
sort of as expected, it does not complete, unable to find xxxxx , unable to find xxxx
so my initially guess is they left out some pieces of required code
so long post, but let the discussion begin, if anybody has idea's/suggestions
I'm certainly open to them
or if there's something you want to try
