Pretty fresh into ARM and NetBSD (but experience with FreeBSD, Linux), I ha=
ve=20
some questions.
Hope to find some answers for my (hopefully not too stupid) questions:

I got the Olimex EP9301 board, booted into both Linux and NetBSD ( works ou=
t=20
of the box like a charm!)
The provided NetBSD Kernel uses USB-Disk.

=46rom the mail archives I can see, there is only a basic configuration (si=
milar=20
to TS7200 and to a certain extent to ARAMDILLO9).

=46rom my understanding of chip and configuration files, there should not b=
e too=20
much to do to add support for GPIO and ADC (still need to study manuals!)

1.  how do I get the 'files.XY' into a configuration?=20
    (Which - I think - get the GPIO-Drivers in)

    files.aramdillo9, files.tsarm:
        include "arch/arm/ep93xx/files.ep93xx"
    which should allow accessing GPIO drivers - but no devices in EP9301

2.  will it be enough to include files for GPIO in a configuration?
  ( I would copy TS7200, remove all 'pld' references and call it OLI9301)

3.  when I cross compile (running NetBSD Current)
  epia1(root) ~> uname -a
  NetBSD epia1 4.99.4 NetBSD 4.99.4 (RFK) #0: Sat Nov 25 20:27:08 CET 2006 =
 =20
  root@epia1:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/RFK i386

  I have problem doing :
  cd /usr/src
  ./build.sh -m evbarm release

#   install  /usr/src/obj/destdir.evbarm/dev/MAKEDEV
cd /usr/src/etc/obj &&=20
STRIP=3D/usr/src/obj/tooldir.NetBSD-4.99.4-i386/bin/arm--netbsdelf-strip /u=
sr/src/obj/t
ooldir.NetBSD-4.99.4-i386/bin/nbinstall  -N /usr/src/etc -c  -r -T etc_pkg =
=2Do=20
root -g wheel -m 555  MAKEDEV
/usr/src/obj/destdir.evbarm/dev
nbinstall: MAKEDEV: stat: No such file or directory

*** Failed target:  install-etc-files
*** Failed command: cd /usr/src/etc/obj && ...

  However: './build.sh  -m evbarm build' worked out fine!
  Compiling a kernel also works fine:=20
    './build.sh -u -m evbarm kernel=3DRFK_TS7200'

  I experienced similar, compiling for i386 - it was OK after second attemp=
t.

   BTW: I must have done something stupid: after reboot to new version,=20
   I can't switch consoles (<ctrl><alt><F[1-4]>)


4.  How do I cross compile packages? (maybe a stupid question, but could not
     find a hint for that in the handbook ...)

5.  preferred way to put an application into a flash image:
     - compile from pkgsrc, leave files in /usr/pkg/...
     - or put into /bin, /usr/bin/ ...

Hope to find a helping hand


TIA
