[microblaze-uclinux] Microblaze uClinux 2.6.11

["Antti Lukats" <lukats@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I know that all the Microblaze-uClinux porting is done by people only from 
enthusiasim (eg not funded) so there is nothing to expect. That is of course 
rather bad situation for Xilinx fans - NIOS2 uclinux is supported by an real 
company (Microtronix) who has made all the work to get uClinux 2.6.11 to 
work on NIOS2.

It makes me envy to see that Altera/NIOS2 users can use uClinux 2.6.11 
because of the effort of Microtronix, but Xilinx/Microblaze users are pretty 
much forced to use 2.4.32 uClinux because there is nobody commercially 
interested in linux 2.6 Microblaze support.

Sad story. There are many drivers that are available for 2.6 but not for 2.4 
or have issues or need more work. Having MicroBlaze uClinux 2.6 support 
would save tons of my time (that I spend with 2.4 compatible driver 
porting). Of course one solution would be to switch to Altera - but for most 
of the projects its really not possible. Still the availability of uClinux 
2.6.11 for NIOS2 is a big BIG +point for Altera!
