RE: [microblaze-uclinux] RedHat 8.0, xilinx_pp3.o question

["Kevin Somervill" <kevin.m.somervill@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey Wade,
You can go out to the xilinx website and search for the parallel port
driver source or simply read answer 19034.  This has a link to the
source code you can then download, build, and install.  I added a few
lines to my rc.local file to make it load this (as well as the other
needed modules, windrvr and xpc) whenever the systems boots.  Hope this
help.

/ks

|
|   I'm trying to move out to the bench from the office, and 
|have installed the Xilinx ISE and the EDk on my Redhat VMware 
|machine.  Unfortunately, the xilinx parallel port driver 
|assumes a kernel (2.4.20-18smp), which does not exist in the 
|real world, as far as I can tell.
|
|  I've tried Googling for the rpm which would contain that 
|specific version, and was unable to locate it.  Since I have 
|to have a 20-18 version of the kernel, I'm uncertain of my 
|next step.  I've never compiled a -18 version, and could not 
|find such a version on the Redhat FTP site, either.
|
|    I saw a veiled reference to the "parallel port driver" in 
|the list, but no details.
|
|  Can anyone shed some light on this?  I can run solely under 
|windows, but would prefer not to.
|
|
|thanks,
|wade
