A simple Linux build system for the Fujitsu / mycable XXSvideo based hardware is available from sourceforge.net. The download includes the script and patches build toolchain (gcc-4.2, glibc-2.6), kernel (2.6.22) and root file system (busybox).

You will require a TFTP server installation to use the system (this is described in the board manual). The freeware TFTP server that we have tested and used can be obtained from the following link: TFTP32.

Note: The software packages require a (real or virtual) Linux system for effective use (i.e. a Cygwin environment on a Windows PC will not suffice).
