The PXA-270 ARM processor I used previously had a lower level interface=20 with RGB buses and framing signals.

I just used the existing config as in 'make=20 oldconfig', which had me simply pressing return to accept the already=20 set up options of the latest raspbian release. I followed=20 instructions from here: the cross-compile software for debian I got here: http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianToolchain using: apt-get install emdebian-archive-keyring Add this to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian squeeze main apt-get install g++-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi This last line might not be exact, I think 'g++' could be 'gcc' and finally: make ARCH=3Darm CROSS_COMPILE=3D/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- oldconfig or, you can make menuconfig finally make ARCH=3Darm CROSS_COMPILE=3D/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi- -k To make the kernel and modules (specified in the .config) I may do more when a need for a $35 computer presents itself.
