Cross Compiling for ARM

[Ignacio Lorenzo Subirá Otal]

>Hello Ignacio,

Hello Paul, 
I read this documentation and edited the local.conf.sample to fit my needs
 as a first approach when I sent this e-mail but I got no good results.
I read it quietly again and again and I could understand better the way
openembedded works and I could get some results.
By now, what I can obtain a kernel image and a root-disk image but none
of them are "true". I mean, I get results in the /work directory and I find
zImage and the root-disk in jffs2 format but when I load the i.MX21 board
with this software it hangs. If I try to mount the root-disk image in my
computer it says it isn't correct. I don't know what fails because all the
logs that openembedded creates are ok and it finishes working without errors
but the truth is that it isn't working for me....
I don't know what else can I do because I've used both toolchains (the one
provided by openembedded and the one provided by freescale) and with
both of them I get the same error.

Thanks for your help, 

Nacho
