[microblaze-uclinux] Booting uClinux

[John McGrath <john.mcgrath@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
Well It's come time to boot my system (I've not been able to work on it 
the the past while)...
My board is very basic. 8 LED's, a UART and 8MB RAM. (note, as my chip 
has few reources, had to reduce the size of the ICACHES/DCACHES - does 
uclinux-auto pick up on this? Is it possible to run uClinx without these 
at all, and if so, will uclinux-auto pick up on this, and make the 
apropriate modifications to the auto-config.in?)

The question is, how do I boot it? Is it enough to simply do the following:

run XMD
 > connect mb mdm
 > force_use_fsl_dow
 > dow -data image.bin 0x81800000           (note, does the image.elf 
contain the romfs? when I download it it seems to download a .romfs 
section, but I remember reading this is not the case..what is the truth?)
 >con 0x81800000

The last step simply jumps to the start of the RAM. Is this the correct 
way to "boot"?
If so, do I have to type anything into the hyperterminal to get the 
system kicked into gear, or will it just immediatly begin to boot?
(I'm not having much luck..so far)

Cheers,
John
