Buenas Guillermo,

- I used OSELAS arm-v5te pre-build toolchain (ubuntu repositories).
- I got two working kernels (one using friendly arm 4.4.3 toolchain and the
other with the CodeSourcery 2009q3).
- With those two kernels, I also got a fully working rootfs (burned into
nand using superboot) and i get the system up & ready, but:
    - with FA - I cannot compile udev, the used glibc version for such
toolchain seems lower than 2.10, so I get errors compiling udev ('accept4'
related).
    - with CS 2009q3 - everything alright but, the specific version of
binutils used for compiling the toolchain is not publicly available (I
suppose it was a custom build from CodeSourcery) so I cannot use the exact
same binutil version (not a big problem but..)
    - with the prebuild arm5vte oselas version, after burning to the board,
the kernel get extracted and then .. no output, system hang.
- I also used kernel from FA as source, but some modifications were done,
i.e (remove initramfs, removed cpio file, ...)

- I am currently testing the system with newer CodeSourcery version
(2013.11-33), but i have the same 'problem', custom binutils build.


You mentioned that you built a customized arm-v5te toolchain (well you don
exactly say so, but given I got no good results with the default
configuration, I will suppose that), Did you add/remove any specific FLAG
for the toolchain compilation (besides mtune)?

Regarding the barebox, I am pretty interested. I was planning also to try
it but I have no more available hours in the day, ;). Please keep me up
with you progress and let me know if you need anything.
