Who needs help with their embedded linux projects?

Too much free time? You're so lucky, I envy you, hehehe

I have so much free time nowadays.

If you don't mind, what embedded MCU board are you using?

I have an ARM9 board from Olimex CS-E9302 DEVELOPMENT BOARD FOR CIRRUS LOGIC EP9302 ARM920T uC WITH USB, RS232, ETHERNET AND COMPACT FLASH CONNECTOR
This can run an ARM9 port of debian linux and with SD/MMC card for the files/lib.
I've been wanting to hack it and use it in actual project but could not find time as well .

I am used to ARM processors. I don't think there is much dependencies on what the name of the board is aside from the hardware specifics to enable the kernel to run on the specific board. Do you have a working toolchain already? Then we can start hacking...

I have the sources for busybox and linux kernel 2.4, 2.6 or NetBSD.
I only downloaded the pre-compiled image but have not done anything on it yet.

I am assuming you want to do everything by hand and learn in the process. I can guide you from creating your own toolchain to porting the latest kernel and packages to your development board. If you can tell me where you are so far, then we can go from there. If you do a google, you may find available or automated toolchain builders out there. But I suggest you do it yourself, this way, the satisfaction is much higher. First off, determine if your board is little endian or big endian. This will matter when you create your toolchain.

Actually I know how to cross-compile using GCC and already know linux internals fairly well.
I don't need help as of the moment. Endianess is also automatic on the compiler (GCC).

My only problem is time.
I was just asking for what hardware/MCU platform your embedded linux app is using.
