RE: [microblaze-uclinux] U-Boot and ucLinux

Hi John,

For more information on u-boot, check out the sourceforge site at
http://u-boot.sourceforge.net/

I shall send you a ppt offline that I produced running through the PPC
port - it might clarify some of the flow for you - apologies, it is
*far* too big to send out on this list.  Additionally, check out our
appnote at

http://www.xilinx.com/bvdocs/appnotes/xapp542.pdf

Cheers

Kris

There's a reasonable way to handle this - for example the mkcramfs tool 
is non-standard too - we just distribute its source code in the vendors 
tree and make it on demand then use it to build the cramfs filesystem
image.

# Is there a single page overview of the uboot architecture and how it 
works on embedded Linux targets?

Thanks,

John
