Am in the linux lab. presently working on the Dislk on chip lab for embedded computing course. We have to install a linux kernel on our harddrive. patch it and the load the kernel on a M Syatem chip and boot the chip. seemed straight forward when Dr Hoover explained it to us and gave us the manual.... Maan this is killing me.very wierd errors that I get. The manual is as Hoover designed it to be - a typical shitty embedded comuting manual that one gets in the market. I just made an error due to the manual and I have to start the whole thing again. The ideal time for this lab is like 20-25 hrs but due to this manual it easily goes upto 75- 90 hours..... A real life embedded computing headache.
