[microblaze-uclinux] ML401 update

[John Williams <jwilliams@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I finally had some time to spend with my ML401 hardware, and am happy to 
say that the ml401 uClinux reference design worked first time.  The only 
wrinkle was that the FSL/MDM channel didn't work properly (for fast XMD 
downloads).  This is now fixed, in ml401_uclinux_ref v1.00b, and is up 
on the website.

The kernel image produced by the MLD/TCL autoconfig booted up first time 
to a login prompt, with full ethernet support and so on.  I am really 
pleased by this, and it confirms to me that the approach we have chosen 
is the right one.

There's lots of potential for this platform - it is a perfect 
opportunity to start working on framebuffer and audio drivers, for 
example.  I'll be looking into this on-and-off over the next couple of 
weeks, so let me know if you make a headstart.

Cheers,

John
