regarding the montavista linux preview kit

Started by N.V. Chandramouli June 26, 2007
Dear all,
           I am working on Virtex-4 Fx12LC (ML 403 ) Fpga that has
powerpc hard core.
I would want to load Linux RTOS onto it and try and access the on chip
memory and Fpga logic from that.
May I know if any body has the preview kit for Linux for that version
of the VIrtex-4 FPGA.
It would be great if they can disclose the details as to where can I
find the same.
thanks and regards
vijay

I'm working on a design for a V4FX60. We used to use the MontaVista Linux Pro but have recently switched to using the latest kernel with patches from Grant Likely (secretlab.ca) and the rest of the linux- embedded-ppc development list (https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/ linuxppc-embedded). IIRC, w/ the latest kernel and the git from secret lab, there is support for most of the ML403 dev board. There is also a git repository from MontaVista themselves and they had support for the ML403 board as well. -- Mike
