Summary
Tried to build and boot zImage on Embedded Linux S3C2440.
Install Buildroot
I tried to compile and install the latest Buildroot by downloading at
PATH=$PATH:/home/iot/buildroot-2018.02.9/output/host/usr/bin
TARGET_DIR=/home/iot/buildroot-2018.02.9/output/target
Note: you cannot use root to compile Buildroot.
But the compiling for busybox and linux kernel by using the latest Buildroot was not successful, as I had a Buildroot 2013.02 ready to use, so I skip this step of installation of Buildroot, use the old Buildroot 2013.02, my Buildroot arm-linux-gcc version is as below,
[[email protected] Buildroot]# arm-linux-gcc -v
......
gcc version 4.7.2 (Buildroot 2013.02)
Compile and install Busybox
[[email protected] iot]#tar xjvf busybox-1.19.4.tar.bz2
[[email protected] busybox-1.19.4]# pwd
/home/iot/mini2440/busybox-1.19.4
[[email protected] busybox-1.19.4] Build BusyBox as a static binary and use arm-linux Cross Compiler.
Set the installation prefix to “./_install”
[[email protected] busybox-1.19.4]# make
[[email protected] busybox-1.19.4]# make install

Above $TARGET_DIR is the Buildroot folder, ‘/home/iot/buildroot-2013.02/output/target’. The script will create root file system, and create cpio image. The cpio image will be used in the Linux kernel compiling.
The rootfile system has a very important startup script,
[[email protected] rootfs-base]# pwd
/home/iot/mini2440/rootfilesystem/rootfs-base
[[email protected] rootfs-base]# vim ./etc/init.d/rcS
#!/bin/sh
echo "* Mounting /proc..."

Compiling the Linux kernel
[[email protected] iot]#tar xjvf linux-3.8.7.tar.bz2
[[email protected] linux-3.8.7]# pwd
/home/iot/mini2440/linux-3.8.7
[[email protected] linux-3.8.7]#
Apply patch, linux-3.8.7.patch.
[[email protected] linux-3.8.7]# patch -p1 <../config-files/linux-3.8.7.patch
Change Makefile to use arm-linux compiler,
[[email protected] linux-3.8.7]# vim Makefile
195 #ARCH ?= $(SUBARCH)
196 #CROSS_COMPILE ?= $(CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE:"%"=%)
197
198 ARCH ?=arm
199 CROSS_COMPILE ?=arm-linux-
Configure Linux kernel compiling options,
[[email protected] linux-3.8.7]# make menuconfig
Configure ‘initramfs.cpio’.
Configure Samsung S3C24XX.
Compile,
[[email protected] linux-3.8.7]# make
It will return and error, as the compiling cannot locate the newly generated ‘initramfs.cpio’ file in previous step. Use below command,
[[email protected] linux-3.8.7]# ln -s ../rootfilesystem/initramfs.cpio
make again, it will take around 20 minutes to complete the compiling,
[[email protected] linux-3.8.7]# make
The new zImage will be in below folder,
[[email protected] linux-3.8.7]# ll ./arch/arm/boot/
