ELDK is an alternative to ELDK for configuring Linux kernels for Phytec.
ELDK is used to generate the kernel (uImage), though you have to generate
u-boot (u-boot.bin) and rootfs (rootfs.tgz) images using other tools (e.g. LTIB, which is older, but simple and generates everything you need).

===================
Install ELDK
===================
- create directory structure:
    •    /home/user/projects/eldk42
    •    /home/user/projects/lpc32x0
    •    /home/user/projects/lpc32x0/uboot
    •    /home/user/projects/lpc32x0/kernel
    •    /home/user/projects/lpc32x0/temp_dir
    •    /home/user/projects/lpc32x0/downloads

- follow instructions here
    http://www.lpclinux.com/LPC32xx/LPC32x0GettingstartedELDK

- use Firefox or other browser in Ubuntu to download ELDK iso image

- move ELDK iso to projects
- mount the iso image
$ cd projects/lpc32x0
$ mkdir temp_dir
$ sudo mount -o loop downloads/arm-2008-11-24.iso temp_dir

- run install script ()
- run (as root) ELDK_FIXOWNER
    - (see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/4.2/arm-linux-x86/distribution/README.html#Section_1.6.)
