Bootloader & Flash

[schardt]

Hi,

i use the AVnet Xilinx4 FX12 Minimodule and until now, i use system-ace
to configure the fpga and boot the linux kernel.
But now, i want to boot from the on board flash memory and have no idea
where to start.

I think i have to:
- save the fpga configuration in the fpga-prom
- use/program some kind of bootloader store in fpga block ram to jump to
the flash-adress where the executable linux kernel resist
- use the mtd-device driver to mount  root fs on the same flash some
address later

Is this the right way ?


Regards
Georg
