[okl4-developer] Need help in compiling

[neohtm]

Thanks....

So in order to boot up OKL4 on the current machine, I need to connect via
serial port to another machine?

Can I remove this function??So that I can directly boot up and view on the
current machine without connect to other machine??

I'd try to simulate it on Debian and the OKL4 is able to boot up with
busybox.

At this stage, OKL4 communicates with the outside world over the  
serial port.  What you need is a serial cable to connect your OKL4  
machine's serial port (typically a RJ45 socket on desktop PCs) with  
another machine.

On the other machine, if an RJ45 socket is available that's great;  
otherwise if a USB port is free you can use a RJ45-to-USB converter.   
You then run a serial console program on the port.

There are many possible serial console programs: minicom, screen,  
console + conserver on Linux to name a few; PuTTy on Windows also  
supports the serial port.
