Help needed please to Compile seperate VMlinux, VMlinux.stripped into binfile.

  • Good afternoon everyone.

    I have a problem which to me sounds complicated but im sure someone may know the answer or be able to help in some way.

    Basically, ive compiled the Open Source Software from sky for the sky HD box.

    However, its only giving out 5 files after compile finishes successfully:

    VMlinux 4.5mb

    VMlinux.unstripped 27.1mb

    Rootfs.mips.tar 6.4mb

    Rootfs.mips.tar.bz2 2.4mb

    Rootfs.mips.initramfs_list 28kb

    i have dumped the original nor chip which is spansion s29gl512p10ffcr1 (512mbits / 64mb) and that is currently sat as a .bin file on my desktop.

    what im looking to do is create a bin file out of the source code that i can flash directly to the chip. there is no access to usb to update, nor is there access via ttl or com port. my only option is literally to flash the bin and refit bga64 chip back to board.


    Is there anyone that has experience of compiling firmwares that can advise possibly how to turn the 6 files into 1 main bin file?


    Hope someone can help ive been bashing my head against a brick wall for the last 3 months on this.


    Kind regards.
