Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Problem with uClinux demo

[<vhdl33@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

thanks for responding. You pretty much confirm our suspicions regarding
our software. Our school has the Alliance-version of the ISE which did not
include XST. We got admin-rights and installed the Webpack ontop of the
previous installation and it started to work but crashed with the message
below. When we removed the old installation and installed the Webpack then
it stopped immediatly and told us we had an invalid speed-grade.

We are trying to find another machine to compile on but we've been out of
luck so far.

The architecture we're using is a Virtex-II rev 3A board. Our original
problem post can be found here:

We got the tip to try to use the mbvanilla_net target and here we are...
