Hi Emanuel,

 We use the spartan 2E 600 LC board...which has 
abt 8k BRAM(+cache)...yes..it is less..my boot-
loader elf executable is abt 16k in size...but
I "mb-strip"d it..so now it is abt 2k which is
good enuff for me..i still have 6k left which i
can use for the xmdstub if and when i decide to
use it....currently i am using the mdm module for disassembly,debug etc...

 maybe if i decide that my bootloader should
do more work than what it is currently doing
..even in that case i still have some BRAM free
for use..and currently it is written in C...
assembly might further reduce the BRAM requirement
....anyways the point is I still do not know
what else the internal BRAM could be used for
apart from its possible use as an extension of
cache... 

any information on this is most welcome...

hope this line width is fine with you..

Thanks and Regards
