Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Determining the MAC address on a Spartan 3e Starter Kit



Hi Leonid,
I compiled and downloaded the bitstream on a windows computer. I'm currently using EDK version 8.1. My current setup is a Windows laptop and a linux rackmount. The linux rackmount is hosting a samba server allowing me to save and compile all my files on there.
I also have kermit setup on the linux box and do all my serial communication with the board through ssh on my windows laptop.

I did run the ub.config script but unfortunately tftp times out. I think I'm going to resort to uploading my images onto the board strictly through serial.

I'm not 100% sure what the difference between u-boot.srec and u-boot-s.bin.  I believe the u-boot.srec is a temporary environment that allows permanent uploading of the kernel image and bootloader.

I have included my bug report in another email.
Thanks!
Jose
