Building Custom kernel v. 3.2.51 for Bubba2

Hi,

I'm running Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy on my Bubba2.
I can to build custom kernel v. 2.6.39.4-13 successfully and boot with it my Bubba2.

But, I need the more recent kernel v. 3.2.51.
I'm following the tutorial on the Wiki page:
http://wiki.excito.org/wiki/index.php/B ... tom_kernel

I'm stuck at the step, when on must load the default excito configuration in Menuconfig, from the directory:

Code: Select all

arch/powerpc/configs/bubbatwo_defconfig
because there isn't such a bubbatwo_defconfig file!

So, my question is the following.
Is it safe to build the custom kernel for Bubba2 by loading in Menuconfig the .config file that is already in the

Code: Select all

linux-3.2.51/
directory, or must I somehow to create the

Code: Select all

bubbatwo_defconfig
file?

A good start would be to copy the bubbatwo_defconfig to linux-3.2.51/.config and run make oldconfig. Then you can run make menuconfig to adapt if you wish.

Dont't forget to set the variables ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE before runinng the make commands.

Good luck and please keep up posted of your progress.

Thanks, but I must update the uboot on my Bubba2 first.

If that is done, then I shall do these above and keep you posted of my progress.
