Bridge-utils

Hello all, 

I am running uClinux 2.6.11 kernel on a custom board. I have compiled brctl using the buildroot cross-compile. However, when I try to execute brctl the system locks up. I do not get any errors and I cannot get back without restarting the system. So I am very limited on the amount of debugging I can do. I enabled the bridge option (802.1d) in the kernel so that's no the problem. 

 

Does anyone have brctl working? Can you provide a quick summary of how you built it and what settings you had to create?

OK, never mind. 

I had some trouble getting bridge-utils to compile within buildroot so I pulled it out and tried to compile it out of the buildroot tree. Apparently, that is where I wnet wrong. I ended up working the bridge-utils to compile successfully within the buildroot tree with the elf2flt option. 

 

This compile worked. 

 

Thanks anyways folks! 

 

Tony
