I have a KIXRP435 Development Platform (IXP43X) BE, and going to make a ram iamge for it.
After check the USB support, compile procedure begins to say "make[9]: execvp: /bin/sh: Argument list too long"

Is there anyone would like to help me? What information more should I collect?
Any help will be appreciated~
