[microblaze-uclinux] Starting up questions



   
    I have done Linux kernel development and board bringup before. But I am somewhat lost regarding to proceeding with a MicroBlaze uCLinux port.

    I pulled the gnu tools from xilinx and built them for my development system - though it would be nice if xilinx would just submit the MicroBlaze code to GNU to get it into the
    main gnu tools chains, then things could be built with crosstools or something normal.

    I pulled a recent kernel source from kernel.org.
    I pulled and applied the coresponding uCLinux patches.
    Unless I am fairly blind MicroBlaze is not under arch/
    I have pulled most  of the itee/petalogic downloads. These seem to add uCLinux as a target to Xilinx tools - as best as I can digest them.
    I am not using Xilinx tools. I have done Linux 2.6 and GreenHills ports for a PPC variant of the boards I am now trying to bring up using the MicroBlaze.
    I'd really rather not comment on the Xilinx Linux code - aside from the fact that it isn't getting into the kernel.org kernels.
    All I am looking for is A Linux source tree with MicroBlaze as an architecture - maybe with an example platform - though the PPC platform I have already done is sufficiently close to what I need I probably do not need an example platform.

    Where can I get a patch that adds the MicroBlaze as a architecture to a uCLinux modified Linux source tree ?
