Re: [microblaze-uclinux] auto-config file in a split Windows/linux enviroment
Hi Moises,

i have EDK and ISE tools in Windows and a linux virtual machine where is
all petalinux stuff, in old petalinux version i only had to copy
"auto-config.in" file in the directory
"uClinux2.4-dist/arch/microblaze/platform/uclinux-auto", and that was
all information that i had to copy between windows and linux, and then i
started to configure my kernel with "make menuconfig",
but now i am confused because there is a script called
"petalinux-copy-autoconfig", what exactly do this script??
This script does the following:
1. determine which kernel version and vendor/platform combo
petalinux-dist is currently configured to build
2. copy the correct file (kconfig.auto or auto-config.in) into the right
directory in the linux kernel directory
3. update the configs in the kernel to pickup the new settings
Take a look at the source of the script to see in detail
vi `which petalinux-copy-autoconfig`
in documentation says that i have to share the entire petalinux folder
between windows and linux, but i dont want to do that, i want copy only
the necesary files from windows to linux (not my entire project), what
can i do?
If you have a virutal machine with Linux, why not install the Xilinx
tools in there as well, and be happy?! :)
another thing, also in documentation says that for kernel 2.4 it use
"auto-config.in", but for kernel 2.6 it use "kconfig.auto", if i want to
use kernel 2.6 how can i generate the "kconfig.auto"??, because EDK
tools only generated "auto-config.in"
The kernel configuration mechanism changed between 2.4 and 2.6, as did
the naming scheme for config dfiles. We had to reflect that.
If you are not getting a 2.6 version Kconfig.auto, it is probably
because you have selected the PetaLinux bsp v1.00.a. For 2.6, you must
use BSP version 1.00.b (check your MSS file).

John
