Xilinx PLB UART

Hi,
I'm working on a Memec XC2VP7 board with a V2Pro device. I'm considering different Linux solutions and I was successful to boot uclinux for MicroBlaze.
Now I'm taking into account PPC-based solutions.
Can u pls post a little howto on how u success in this?

Thanks in advance

Roberto-

To get Linux running on the V2Pro, see the following
page. Most of what it says there applies to the Memec board.

In general -

Download the latest 2.4 or 2.6 kernel.
Run the configure program of your choice (make menuconfig, etc) Configure for XILINX_OCP , PPC40x, ML300
Edit xparameters.h and xparameters_ml300.h to match the xparameters.h (and therefore the memory map) for your Memec board. Remake the kernel
Using the Xilinx Parallel IV Cable, load the kernel onto your V2P. Boot It.

If you want, you can get the latest U-Boot source ,
Configure it for the ML300 if there is no config for the Memec Replace the xparameters.h file (or whatever its called in the U-Boot tree. Build U-Boot.

Using whatever debugger you have, load U-Boot into flash if you have any. Configure a TFTP server on the machine where you built the kernel. Configure U-Boot to download the kernel and run it.
