Click on a PowerPC platform: has anyone succesfully done it ?

[Krishna Reddy]

Hi,

I find Click to be a wonderful and fascinating project. I'm trying
to port Click to a PowerPC platform and was wondering if anyone has
done it successfully.  I tried doing it and ran into problems while
the loading the IP router config file.

My target board is Motorolla Sandpoint Unity-3 Evaluation board,
which has a  MPC8245 (PowerPC G2 core) running at 300Mhz.
I've a 2.4 kernel from the PPC development branch (2.4.15pre) on
linuxppc.org
I've patched the Click 2.4.9 patch on to this branch and built a Linux
kernel
and the click module.

I've two eepro100 (82559) based NICs in the box and I generated the
ip.click using the file 'make-ip-conf.pl' in the conf directory. I ran the
command click-aign on this file and generated a new config ip_aligned.click.

On my target box I loaded the click.o module which loaded fine.
Now when I try to load the router config with the command :

cat ip.click > /proc/click/config

I get tonnes of error like the ones included below.

I would appreciate if anyone can let me know know what I am doing wrong and
what other information would you need to make an informed guess. Also,
please copy me on the reply as I'm not subscribe the list.


thanks,
Krishna
