Embedded Linux Primer

Quite simple:
# mysqladmin -u root password "newpassword"

This of course assumes a new install where a password has not yet been assigned!

This is a placeholder to help me remember how I managed to get mysql compiled, liked, installed (the easy part) and running on various architectures besides x86. For the moment, that means ARM (armv6 and armv7) on i.MX31 PDK and Beagle board (OMAP3530.)

It's been a fun but sometimes frustrating effort!

I didn't even try to "cross" compile this package. It's a large project and uses lots of scripts and host-compiled helper programs. It has more than 6,400 files and 3.5 million lines of 'text', much of it application and test code.
