Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Virtex II Pro "Powerpc" and spartan 3 starter board "Microblaze"
Hi,
I'm going to take this thread offline since it is neither
microblaze nor uclinux :-) but the short answer was trial-and-error
and this web site was a start: http://klingauf.de/v2p/index.phtml
I'm happy to share if there's interest but I'm guessing not.
