Hello,
if you're back from your business trip, I'm still waiting for a solution
to these issues:
1) I need the sources corresponding to my kernel or a firmware update.
Either way I need them to be in sync.
2) A way to build an image to upload to the tv
An additional item is that if RELEASE is statically linked to uClibc,
according to the LGPL you should also provide an object that can be
linked to uClibc.
In the end I should be able to build the same kernel as supplied on the
tv and the same RELEASE by linking it to the provided uClibc.
Bye
