Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Question

[Paul Logothetis <pml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bret,

I'm using the Digilent XUP-V2Pro board at the moment, but it should all 
be board independent because we're using the auto-config.in flow from EDK.

So far I haven't done any performance analysis of Microblaze vs. PPC in 
the same device - I've just been happy to see a shell prompt and run a 
few commands.

I'll post to the list as soon as I have something usable - maybe that'll 
be a good time to start the ppc-uclinux list :)
