[etherlab-users] install on non-PC

Helpful post that I am following:

I think the ./configure worked and now I believe the "make ARCH=arm
CROSS_COMPILE=arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi-" worked as well (I didn't
notice any error messages).

 

So do I want to run "make install" as root on the Linux PC?  Will that be
the final step in building EtherCAT into the arm kernel that the Linux PC
currently builds?  Then just transfer the kernel and filesystem to the
target board?

 

Thanks,

 

 

Jeff
