Hi Guys! Is it possible for me to measure the performance of several peripherals in a given board? Lets say if i want to measure the speed of my ethernet peripheral, do i have to create kernel modules for this? or should i only get a tool for measuring network performance? My goal is to see how the OS drives these peripherals and see if there is any overhead. Thanks everyone!

sorry to say that it is not enough... ultimately, i have to prove that Embedded linux is better than uiTRON... so i have to use something that can be used for iTron and Linux... Hope for more ideas.. thanks!

hi everyone! I am trying to boot an SH7751R evaluation board using embedded linux. The kernel image that came with HHL preview kit works fine, except that it lacks some configurations i need. Thus i had to compile my own version of the kernel. However, after several kernel size reductions, i am left with a kernel that cannot be loaded at all. I get the error: Code: Looking for port of RPC 100003/2 on w.x.y.zportmap: Server w.x.y.z is not reponding, timed outRoot-NFS: Unable to get nfsd port number from server, using defaultlooking up port of RPC 100005/1 on w.x.y.zportmap: server w.x.y.z not responding, timed outRoot-NFS: Unable to mountd port number from server, using defaultmount: server w.x.y.z not responding, timed outRoot-NFS: Server returned -5 while mounting /opt/...VFS: Unabvle to moung via NFS, trying floppy... i do not get this error in the old kernel. is nfs dependent on any other module/configuration in order to work?

Hi! Just a quick question... is it possible to install 2 releases of RH in one PC? and both are using the same boot loader? I tried doing this and it seems to be impossible. Maybe there is a restriction I failed to read or there might be a work around on this one. Background: I am doing this because I have RH9 originally installed and HardHat dev kit i got is compatible with RH7.2 only. so i have to "downgrade" my OS to 7.2. Since many files are already in RH9, i got another HDD and installed RH7.2 there having GRUB bootloader of Enigma on MBR. I expected it to behave like RH + WinXX where i can choose which OS to boot, but it wasnt. Thanks everyone!

same here! i got a test tool from ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Linux-Alpha-Tools/ test-tools/ . i havent used it exactly, but it says that it is just the same as dd. Oh.. sorry, its not GUI-based, i think.

Hi all! I have a problem with booting via DHCP. I have a target MS7751RSE01 board and i am trying to boot Embedded linux via dhcp. I finally got everything to be working except the error No HOSTNAME is available. I hope you guys have some ideas about this. Code: #dhcpd.conf allow bootp; subnet 192.168.213.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { default-lease-time xx; maximum-lease-time xx; group { host 192.168.213.216 { #this is the IP of my host. I also tried 127.0.0.0 hardware ethernet 02:00:00:00:00:33; fixed-address 192.168.213.22; filename "..."; option root-path "..."; } } Thanks everyone!

Hope this isnt too far-fetched: Hi everyone! I am trying tofigure out the main difference between Linux OS and Embedded Linux. As far as i have read several articles, i couldnt determine whether or not embedded linux is capable of making an x86 processor work like a complete Linux OS can. Based on the fact that Embedded Linux kernel is just a trimmed Linux OS Kernel, i am thinking that it is possible, but there might be some other issues that i haven't stumbled upon. Thanks for your time!
