AW: [microblaze-uclinux] New Digilentinc board
Hi Aurash, hi John,
We are working with the PPC on virtex2p. You do not need Monta Vista Linux.
All you need is denx eldk: http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/ELDK
And the penguin ppc linux distribution: http://www.penguinppc.org/kernel/#developers
(we are using the 2.4 Kernel)
To get started: http://www.klingauf.de/v2p/index.phtml might be helpful.
On the other hand we are also using uClinux on spartan3.
It is really a question of what hardware you have and what you want to do ;-)
Have Fun
Jan
