Hello,

i'm rather a beginner when it comes to embedded systems.
My (play) system is a mips (i assume a mips32 big endian) system without a 
mmu, so i started with
  crossdev --target mips-softfloat-linux-uclibc

which runs well (after unmasking uclibc-0.9.30.1-r1 for mips). So i have now 
the cross-compilers and binutils available.

Due the target has no mmu i assume that i have to rebuild the uClibc with a 
modified .config to cover this, right ?
Ok, in the first view switching ARCH_HAS_MMU/ARCH_USE_MMU off is obvious, but 
then i think PIC (DOPIC) is also not allowed. 
(anyone could share me a working .config for this target ?)

Also - as far as i read - the normal linux kernel is not capable of a mmu-less 
mips system. Is uClinux the proper alternative for this or are the mips 
kernels available in the portage tree patched to cover this ?

Are there other things i have to care about ?

I would be happy if someone can share some knowledge with me.

regards
  Petric
