Re: [microblaze-uclinux] HELP!!! Porting UClinux on Spartan 3

> is it possible to work with uCLinux using the microblaze core
No, microblaze's licence is provided with EDK, which costs about 500$.


I also want to work with the
microblaze core in a 100% linux-only development environment. Is this possible? 

I think there is a Linux release, ask Xilinx.


WITHOUT shelling out $$$ for the Xilinx EDK?


Christopher Cole a écrit :

I have been allocated a project in my university this summer. I am supposed
to port Uclinux on a Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA Starter Kit Board (XC3S200). The
specs of this board are given below:



You need more RAM to port uclinux.  I can't remember exactly the amount but
you need much more than 1MB.
That's right - uCLinux needs much more than 512KB of RAM. However, you would be all set if you used the Xilinx Spartan3E Starter Kit (only $150!!!). 
It has 64MB of DDR SDRAM, which is _way_ more than what uCLinux needs to run.

I have the Spartan3E Starter Kit board, and have been wanting to put Linux
onto it - is it possible to work with uCLinux using the microblaze core
WITHOUT shelling out $$$ for the Xilinx EDK?  I also want to work with the
microblaze core in a 100% linux-only development environment. Is this possible? I have an EDK evaluation copy, but it only works under Windows. 

Thanks for any help,
-Chris
