Where I found a path for a M-501 Board?

I have a little problem when i try to update my kernel version.
I have a M501 evaluation board kit:
CPU: ATMEL AT91RM9200, with MMU
Clock: 180MHz
SDRAM: 32MB (16MB user space)
Flash: 16MB (12MB user space)
USB Host: x2, USB 2.0 compliant

In this moment, I have 2.6.14-M5 version (it's very old, I Know) and I
need to upgrade it because I can't do to work a webcam on this board.

I tried update many times the linux's kernel and different versions of
kernels (2.6.18, 2.6.20, 2.6.22, 2.6.24....2.6.38 ) and basically I
can't do it for these reasons:

1) the toolchains is very old (3.3.2 version). I download different
versions of ARM's toolchains (like code sourcery lite version
http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm and others more), this
toolchains isn't working for my embedded system. I wrote to
Artila's support and they wrote to me: "this is the last toolchain for
your board, you must to use them"

2) On Artila's web-site, the "last kernel version" is 2.6.14-M5 kernel
version update to 2010.

If you have some idea about how to compile a newer recent kernel's
version and/or toolchain for my board I appreciated Very much.

Wrong mailing list.

I already told you on the buildroot IRC what to do:
- get 2.6.14 from upstream
- diff the official 2.6.14 to your own 2.6.14
- analyse the delta, and apply appropriate changes to the newer kernel.
- and of course, bug up your board supplier to provide a newer kernel,
or even better yet, push these changes upstream.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
