Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Microblaze uClinux 2.6.11

Dear John,
I dont know the meaning of the word "shaft" - but reading your reply to mr Jensen's announcement - "embarrassement ... courtesy of Mark Jensen" - John, Mr Jensen has never made announcments to "embarrace you or PetaLogix". In the matter of fact in his previous post to this list he did give all the credit possible to PetaLogix, confirming PetaLogix being Tier-1 partner to Xilinx etc, what can you expect more? If the decision was made not to pay PetaLogix up-front gazillion bucks for linux 2.6 support, then this is an decision you just have to honor, no matter how bitter it may be to you. I'm sure PetaLogix was concidered as potential partner in this regard and not left out from the discussion. Decisions have to be made. And not always are all parties equally happy.
Mr Jensen did give release dates for v4-ppc-linux 2.6 and mb-uclinux 2.6, in turn it would be nice to see release dates from PetaLogix in regard to the promised (uc)linux build environment for ppc and microblaze. When will it be released? 

folks

Hi folks,

Despite the obvious embarassment of being so publicly shafted by Xilinx,
courtesy of Mark Jensen, PetaLogix isn't going anywhere.

There's clearly a market for personal service and support from people
who aren't just in it for the money - that's where we are, and that's
where we're staying.

All,
For all that want to know ....

Xilinx has engaged with LynuxWorks (www.lynuxworks.com) for all our
Linux and uCLinux needs going forward. There are 2 aspects to this:

1)       LynuxWorks will do all "open source" work for Xilinx and push
this work to the open source trees such as kernel.org. This will enable
the Linux/uCLinux users that are "purists" and want to stick with only
GPL code and the GNU tools.

2)       Secondly, from the above work, they will develop a commercial
version (lets call it "uCat" for now until they give it a name) of
uCLinux to match their commercial Linux distribution called BlueCat
Linux. This will enable those users who want a commercial version of
Linux/uCLinux for support and a world class tool chain.

A high level development schedule is:

There will be a Linux 2.6 V4FX (PPC 440) port complete by the end of
August '06 and the uCLinux 2.6 port available (since they just started)
in Dec '06.

Best,
Mark

Hi,
if today was "Make a wish"-day, I would like to wish that the porting to
the
2.6 kernel considers the RTAI patch right from the beginning. :-)
