Lynuxworks already claims to have a (MMU) linux-port to Microblaze.

Appnote ug258 is a precompiled demo of Bluecat Linux (Microblaze
edition), for the Spartan3E Embedded Processing Kit (SP3E1600E.)
I tried it out, but since I couldn't really build/compile/test
my own applications on the embedded platform, it wasn't all
that useful. (Basically, from a user perspective, looking
through the RS232 port and ethernet-jack, it looks just like
the prelodaed-uclinux demo.)

I've heard word that some distro's may be working on supporting it,
but no specifics. It shouldn't be too difficult to take the non-MMU
version and add MMU capability.

Now that Xilinx has released Microblaze 7.0 with an optional MMU (in
EDK 9.2), has anyone started working on a Linux port?
There's already a uClinux port to Microblaze with no MMU, but for
some applications it would be nice to run "normal" Linux.
