[microblaze-uclinux] HELP!!! Porting UClinux on Spartan 3



Hi guys,

I have been allocated a project in my university this summer. I am supposed to port Uclinux on a Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA Starter Kit Board (XC3S200). The specs of this board are given below:

200,000 gates
2Mbit Platform Flash
1MB SRAM
9 pin RS 232 Serial Port


Along with this I got the DVDs of Xilinx ISE Webpack and Xilinx EDK 8.1 and a computer on which I installed Fedora Core 3.

Since, I had no prior experience with either FPGAs or Operating Systems I searched on the net for info  and started following the guide by Jason Wu & John Williams. I have downloaded the UClinux dist and 2.4.x as per the manual.

As the manual is for ML 401 board I am having some doubts. The manual states that I am to download the required MDM for V4 devices,dl.sh,Make file and xmd.ini Should I download these or not???? I would like to know that what changes am I supposed to make for Uclinux to run on my board??

Also the manual specifies the changes to make in settings.sh for EDK 6.3 and EDK 7.1. I would  like to know what changes are required in EDK 8.1???

If anybody has ported Uclinux on this board please help me.

Thanx in advance

Nikhil
