How To Compile Tool Chain For Bootloader

By
For compiling Uboot 3.4.4 tool chain is required.
Steps to check and change tool chain correspondingly
1) At the bash prompt of your Linux PC, execute the following command.

$ tar -zxvf arm-tools.tar.gz

Now you will have the "arm-tools" folder created in your current directory.


2) Copy the "arm-tools" directory to your home directory (or wherever you
prefer to)

$ cp -rf arm-tools ~/


3) Modify the .bash_profile file in the home directory, by using the following
steps. (Add the following lines in .bash_profile)

$ vi ~/.bash_profile

This will open the file for editing. Make the following changes in the file

export HOME=$HOME/arm-tools
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$HOME/arm-tools/arm-linux/bin:$HOME/arm- tools/image_tools/:$HOME/arm-tools/image_tools/bin

export PATH

Close the ".bash_profile" file.


4) Then execute the command

$ source .bash_profile


5) To check whether arm-tools environment has been properly set or not type the
following at the prompt

$ which arm-linux-gcc

The expected output is as follows:

~/arm-tools/arm-linux/bin/arm-linux-gcc

If the tool chain doesn't get set with by doing above step 5 logout and login
again to the system and repeat the step 5.

Linux SMB write performance With Simple Tips

By
SMB write performance can be increased by Tuning the buffer cache. The secret to good performance is to keep as much of the data in memory for as long as is possible. Writing to the disk is the slowest part of any filesystem. If you know that the filesystem will be heavily used, then you can tune this process for Linux Samba. writing out dirty blocks to the disk until the filesystem buffer cache is 80 percent full (80). default is 40%, source = http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/chap29sec287.html by writing echo 80 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio I am getting around 2MB increase while write operation, tested in Xp. I have tried with this single option, as the ref source is for linux 2.2 and we are using 2.6 kernel. we can try out Linux General Optimization suggested at http://tldp.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3/gen-optim.html Tried with smb.conf, I am getting around 1MB gain while read and write. socket options = TCP_NODELAY I...

Creating & Working On a CVS Branch Example Usage

By
Example usage OF Creating & Working On a CVS Branch Tried working hard on CVs commands, here is simple example for working in branch using CVS, CVS is becoming nomore use with everyone opting for SVN, still CVS usages is wide as it is old, Lets start with CVS commands to create a branch This is done with two commands, cvs tag -b release-1 //create branch cvs update -j release-1 //merge the changes in main tot Lets see with simple example Creating and working on a branch for the existing kernel source. #cvs co kernel/linux-2.6.26 #cd kernel/linux-2.6.26/ #cvs tag -b release-1 First we created a branch to the kernel source, as we are doing first release. Continue your development work for second release. After some time, reported a problem in the first release. So you need to Get the kernel source code of first release. #cvs co -r release-1 kernel/linux-2.6.24 and fix the problems Now If you want to merge these changes in to main trunk. #cvs update -j release-1 And you are done with ...
