ML507 EDK 10.1

[John Linn]

Hi Neelu,

The easiest way to get a good baseline with the board and the kernel is
to use the bitstream for the board that we provide in the file,
linux_support.tar.gz, on http://git.xilinx.com.

In the PPC440 directory of the support file, there's a bit stream for
the board. If you don't use a Xilinx probe to download to the board, you
will need to create an ACE file from that bit stream, but it sounds like
you know how to do that.

I know the state of the Xilinx Git tree, but I don't know the state of
Grant's for sure. We have baselined our Git tree such that you should be
able to make it work quick and easy (that's our goal).

To build arch/powerpc, the following commands should create zImage in
the arch/powerpc/boot directory that can be used with the bitstream from
the linux_support.tar.gz file.  I am currently using the ELDK 4.1 tools
to build the kernel.

> make ARCH=powerpc ml507_defconfig
> make ARCH=powerpc zImage

We also provide a ramdisk image in the support file, you can build it
also after copying the ramdisk images into the arch/powerpc/boot
directory.  The default command line of the kernel, in the ml507.dts
file in the arch/powerpc/boot/dts directory, is setup to use the
ramdisk.

> make ARCH=powerpc zImage.initrd

Hope that helps,
John Linn

Hi All,

Currently I am working with ML507 Base Reference design. I  have
installed Eval 10.1 edk I am bale to create ace file using xmd with base
download.bit. and able to boot the board. Now I want to boot the board
with Xilinx Linux kernel from Xilinx git tree. I am facing compilation
problem with zImage.dts for ml507_defconfig.

  


now I need to create ace file for Linux for ML507.
I tried creating zImage.dts its failing. Kernel error see below

Please help or give some pointers wherein I can compile zImge.dts. this
is from latest git tree. Seems for me arch/powerpc wrapper code is
broken. Please suggest.
currently I have no bdi I need to stick to Ace compact Flash booting.
Also bit confused where we have two git tree one is Xilinx git tree one
more from Grant Likely which should I use ?

Thanks In Advance

Neelu
