Hi,

i'm new to u-boot and new to embedded linux, and i have some questions ? :-)

i am using the virtex4-fx12- minimodul with integrated powerpc. booting linux
from systemAce works fine and now i try to boot from flash. i want u-boot as bootloader/firmware.

Does anyone use this combination ? if not, i think i have to create my own u-boot config ? where is the place to start on this issue ? I've the ELDK installed and read the README :)

Thanks
Georg

U-boot does work for the Virtex platforms, but you'll probably need to create a new u-boot config for your board and u-boot does not yet have a driver for the TEMAC ethernet device. One needs to be written.

Cheers,
