AW: [microblaze-uclinux] more progress

["Schunke Jan-Hendrik" <Schunke@shf-communication.de>]

Hi John,

Looks very good to me. This will be a great help for every microblazer out there.

Btw: Did you notice that xilinx is already promoting the spartan3/microblaze with:

Supported Operating Systems
Many embedded processing applications require operating system capabilities. The
MicroBlaze FPC solution supports the following operating systems and real-time operating
systems (RTOS).

* Micriµm µC/OS-II Real-Time Operating System
http://ucos-ii.com/

* µClinux Operating System
http://www.uclinux.org
http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/ports/microblaze/

* ATI Nucleus Real-Time Operating System
http://www.mentor.com/nucleus
http://www.mentor.com/nucleus/nucleus_cpu_support.html#xilinx

* Xilinx Microkernel Libraries
- Highly modular scheduler, network stack, and file system
- Minimal resource requirements and footprint size
- Royalty-free license included with EDK purchase

Well, that application note is from July 11th. Looks like they very pretty sure that you can do it ;-)

Keep on porting/debugging

Jan
