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



Thanks for your response John,
 
i tried to generate the "kconfig.auto" file with version 1.00.b of BSP, but it still generated the "auto-config.in", in fact in both versions (1.00.a , 1.00.b) it generated only "auto-config.in",
 
i am using EDK 9.1i, and the edl_user_repository directory (that contains the petalogix BSP) is in the same level that EDK directory (in C:\), and i only click on "Generate Libraries and BSPs" option
 
is there another thing that i need to configure to generate the "kconfig.auto"?, or some patch, or some update?
thanks

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`

If you have a virutal machine with Linux, why not install the Xilinx
tools in there as well, and be happy?! :)

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).

Regards,

John
