Re: [microblaze-uclinux] ML300 board?

[Jingzhao Ou <ouj@xxxxxxx>]

Dear Ron,

Thanks a lot for your email. That gives me a chance to say sorry to John 
   for my laziness in responding emails. (John, very sorry!)

I tried the design sent to me by John. However, I am unable to get it 
working. :-( I am not sure how to download the uCLinux image to the 
board. I thought of using MDM, but I failed to detect any working MDM 
JTAG chain that allow me to use "dow" to download the image. I must have 
missed something here.

For some reasons, I am now using the MicroC/OS-II real-time OS with the 
MicroBlaze. I can run my designs on the ML300 board as well as a 
Spartan-3 board from Nu Horizons. However, even though MicroC/OS-II is 
open-source, it is not free. If you are also working for a university, 
we should be able to get the permission from Jean, its creator and share 
the design.

I am still very interested in uCLinux if any one would kindly like to 
keep me posted.

Thanks a lot!
