That all looks pretty good.

Thanks for the links.
Any of you , have got X running ?

I've already used these helpful references to get a Linux kernel running on
the PowerPC405 on the Digilent XUP-V2Pro board.  I'm new to ucLinux but it
doesn't appear to be much more complicated than the ucLinux steps.

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

Alex,
that board is more prepared for Linux rather than uC-linux (2 x
PowerPC
processors)
it's a waste to use uC-Linux in my opinion when the
        

processors can run
      

with 300Mhz and they have MMU
        

Given the origins and objectives of this board - (hint XUP = Xilinx
University Program) I think that uClinux on this thing makes as much
sense, if not more, than on any other .edu oriented board.  Showing
students a spectrum of embedded Linux, from small soft-CPU
(microblaze +
uClinux) to PPC + regular linux is potentially a very
valuable teaching
exercise.

Of course, maybe I'm just biased :)  I'm also not inclined to
think it
reasonable for educational groups to pay the licensing fees
demanded by
Montavista for an open-source linux kernel distro.   I
noticed that Mind
  have an eval CD in the latest EDK package - let's hope they
are more
willing to work with universities than MontaVista...

OK, that's enough opinion for now :P

John
