Re: [microblaze-uclinux] ML300 board?

[Ron Sass <rsass@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jingzhao,

I do work for a Univesity and I've got a colleague who might be
interested in the MicroC/OS-II stuff but, personally, I'm firmly
in the Linux camp.

My next experiment with the board is to take a pre-build MVL kernel,
a pre-build base system, and create ace file for the the compact
flash on the ml310.  Assuming I can follow the instructions (and
that the instructions are correct), I should be able to take John's
kernel and do the same.

So I'm willing to take a whack at it... John do you still have those
files around?

Ron
