Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Automatic login

[John Williams <jwilliams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Raul,

Change to the directory petalinux/software/petalinux-dist

do the following command

[user@host petalinux-dist] $ patch --dry-run -p0 << /path/to/patchfile

The --dry-run parameter is to do a test first, make sure it will apply 
cleanly.  In this case you should get no errors, so just repeat without 
this parameter:

[user@host petalinux-dist] $ patch -p0 << /path/to/patchfile

You are now ready to rerun the 'make menuconfig' and select the new 
options etc.

Regards,

John
