Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Peripherals

John,

I'm normally building under Linux and the upload with Windows tools. That works
pretty well on a network drive.

Additionally, I quickly tried to compile the microblaze tools under Linux but
run into runtime problems, i.e. seg faults.
I'll give it another try sometimes later this week.
