If you want sockets, you need to use xilkernel. If you can use the RAW 
API, then use the standalone BSP.

Create a BSB design for the project and take a look at the linker script 
used for TestApp_Peripheral.

Hi everyone,

We are a group of Computer Science students working on a project on
the XUP board's PowerPC processor core to run an image processing
algorithm and communicate back and forth with a PC across an Ethernet
connection. We are having a bit of trouble configuring the board to be
able to run our code or any example code properly. We would really
appreciate any help since we are nowhere near experienced with the
hardware configuration and terminology.

Here's the current system we're trying to work on:
- XUP V2Pro board fitted with 512 DDR Ram
- EDK 9.1i and ISE 9.1i

So far we have found out that we would need to use the light weight IP
(lwIP) library in Socket API mode, but we are totally lost in terms of
how to configure the project in EDK properly to allow such thing.
Should we use the "standalone" OS or "xilkernel"? And how do we
configure the linker script for the software project so that we can
utilize the 512MB RAM correctly?

We would really Really appreciate it if anyone can provide step-by-
step information on how to configure the project, starting from the
BSB wizard and until the project is ready to build successfully. We
have tried following several tutorials and whitepapers from Xilinx and
otherwise, but most of them either work for a different EDK version or
a different development board, so the configuration doesn't apply and
it ends up not working.


Thank you in advance for any help!
