David et al;
In my seemingly neverending effort to get linux up on the ML403, I went the route David B. did and worked with the xapp902 reference desing. I have met with a little success and appeal for some assistance...
1. The uart is dog slow. I suspect it has to do with interrupts (note the console dump below). I see this line:
[ 2.637345] uartlite.0: ttyUL0 at MMIO 0xa0000000 (irq =
and I think that the interrupt isn't properly registered with the PIC. What do you think?
2. Can you look below and comment on the ram disk size? I am not sure what this value should be. My ramdisk
image is 4658942 bytes. I recall reading somewhere that the value for the initrd ram disk should be about 10k larger
than the ramdisk size to allow for decompression. The # of pages and page size is throwing me off. Comments?
