Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Virtex II Pro "Powerpc" and spartan 3 starterboard "Microblaze"




The reasoning is that we have a JVM that we have currently fully working on the uClinux that we want to keep on uClinux.  But based on benchmarks and other performance results we have run we have found the powerpc to be more capable then the microblaze.  It has faster data and instruction access and has more capabilities then the microblaze that we can utilize are our project.  But I will take a look at the link you have supplied below cause it might work for what we need.  Do you know of any linux versions for the virtex II pro that run on botht he microblaze and the powerpc 405?  Cause I would not be against using something else but I would prefer to be able to run the same OS on both to rule out that as an issue when we run the jvm benchmarks on both.  We need to rule out some stuff for the contract we have.

Why do you want to use uClinux with the PowerPC?
You will find a complete Linux Supporting the PowerPC 405
of the VirtexII pro under http://www.penguinppc.org/kernel/#trees
I am currently using the linuxppc-2.4 tree with a custom
virtex board. It works perfectly well. So no need to do without the mmu.

Cheers,
Erik
