Re: [microblaze-uclinux] parallel cable errors

John,

 Ahh! Thanks for seeing that so quickly.. Now I have a few options..
1) Reformat/Reinstall to get to redhat kernel 2.4, which hopefully my department has on a shelf somewhere.. 2) Attempt to install Xilinx EDK and ISE 7.1, which we do have, but no one in the building has gotten it to work on the redhat 2.6.1 kernel that i currently have, so that might not pan out well either.. This was why i was using EDK 6.3, my IT guy who has been helping me through my linux n00bery suggested it because he already knew how to get it working.. somewhat.... He considers "working" that it brings up the GUI :D... 3) Attempt to get a copy of EDK and ISE 8.1 and be the first in my building to tackle getting it going on our linux distribution. Someone has the CDs here, I will let otu the dogs to find them..
Any suggestions about which option to try first? Can I install EDK 7.1 and 6.3 in parallel, provided my paths, setup.sh and init.d files and whatnot are all pointing at the new distro? 

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,

I think you are wedged between kernel versions, driver versions and tool
versions.  See below:

Isn't RHEL3 a 2.4 kernel distro?  RHEL 4 uses 2.6.

There have been recent reports of success installing Xilinx parallel
drivers under 2.6 kernels, search the comp.arch.fpga archives for starters.

Things were a bit shakey driver-wise in the EDK/ISE6.3 series, got
stable eventually in 7.1 with 2.4 kernel, buty hacks were still required
for 2.6

As of 8.1, I believe 2.6 kernel should be ok out of the box, but I
haven't actually checked.

Regards,

John
