Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Porting PetaLinux to ML505

[Tyler Nguyen <tyler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the quick intro. The bring-up exercise has been very exciting.

My enviroment is Suse 10.0 SP1 32-bit along with ISE/EDK 10.1 SP3, no IP update, and USB Platform Cable II.
I started with BSB targetting ML505 and followed through with default settings, nothing fancy. I noticed that with 10.1.03, there's only one option for the EMAC and that is the hard XPS_LL_TEMAC.
If anybody used 9.1 or anything older than 10.1.03, do you get anything else besides the XPS_LL_TEMAC?

I then moved on to updating my MSS and XMP files to relate to Petalinux and add the FS-BOOT application. No problem generating the bitfile incorporating FS-BOOT into BRAM. After downloading this bitfile, I did see the FS-BOOT output on kermit console.
Hard stuff looked good, now comes the soft stuff, linux image and u-boot.
I created a new platform with "petalinux-new-platform" and ran "petalinux-copy-autoconfig" from the hardware project. Ran "make menuconfig" to update the default kernel setting, left "build u-boot" unchecked as I'm sure I'll run into issues and just want to make sure I can build separately for now.

Ran "make all" and saw the first error regarding the Xilinx EMAC in drivers/net. It makes sense because XPS_LL_TEMAC is used instead and I haven't yet digged into drivers and build config scripts yet. I modified Kconfig to turn off building the Xilinx EMAC just to verify the build process. It then finishes building but the image probably won't work ;)

Next I had u-boot built and saw a build error. It complained about "net.c" having undefined routines that I see exist in drivers directory. I now have a bit of digging to do for it to make sense.

Thanks 
Tyler

Tyler,

Welcome to the list. We're all new at something;-)

It can be done. I found best success by following the "Petalinux from
scratch" document. Try that, then post if/when you have questions.

Cheers,
Nathan.
