[clue-tech] Looking for help on cross compiling for XScale-IXP4xx

[Jim Ockers]

Hi David,

Is this the same CPU that's in the Linksys Slug (NSLU2)? IIRC my old 
slug had a 200MHz Xscale in it, and I installed Linux on it. (I 
overclocked it too, woot.) If so, you could look at the compiler tools 
for the Linux projects around the SLUG.

I had two 750GB drives on my Slug and I made them a RAID1 mirror, but 
the thing would never shut down cleanly and then it would take more than 
24 hours to resync the RAID1 array after a reboot. I think that the CPU 
was just too slow to do RAID1 on huge drives.

Hope this helps,
Jim
