[microblaze-uclinux] MicroBlaze/MMU - questions of confidence



Hi all;
We're beginning a new project here, that will use MicroBlaze with MMU, on a Virtex5 FPGA.  We will be running Linux of some sort on it, because we wish to use existing applications from a stand-alone Linux system.  My understanding is, we essentially have two Linux choices for this project; Petalinux (open source, at least for kernel) and Linuxworx (commercial).  I would rather work with the open-source package, but others in my department have a tendency to expect that commercial software will be more stable and professional, so I want to ask some questions about the Petalinux implementation;

In particular, I understand that the MMU implementation is very new, in fact the upcoming v0.40 distribution will be the first snapshot release to have all the MMU support in it.  So how much usage has it actually gotten?  If I tell my boss and the hardware engineer "just use Petalinux, the MMU support is solid and dependable, I have confidence in it.", how solid will my footing be?

Mind ye, I don't know *anything* about the Linuxworx implementation either; once I saw Petalinux I just focused on that...
