RE: [microblaze-uclinux] PetaLinux 0.20, including 2.6.20 kernel

["Leonid" <Leonid@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, John:

This is very nice indeed!

May I also ask how do you resolve a "naming" problem in XILINX drivers?
Petalogix v0.10 naming scheme was to use CONFIG_XILINX_... constants,
being generated by your BSP while all Xilinx drivers so far use
constants with XPAR_... names. In 0.10 version you modified Xilinx code,
creating for example in u-boot board/petalogix directory which is
essentially parallel to board/xilinx.

Did you come up (together with PPC folks) with better solution in v0.20
and if yes, what is it?

Another question: now, when your 2.6.20 is not on kernel.org yet (when
this pleasant even is expected BTW) what is the best choice of kernel
source, I can use for different architectures? I have here:
- Microblaze on Spartan-2 and Spartan-3 - I use uClinux 2.4 from
Petalinux
- PPC405 on Virtex-4 - I use standard 2.6.19 with TMAC driver ported
manually
- AMCC PPC440EPx - standard kernel.
- Atmel (ARM9) at91rm9200 CPU - standard kernel.

I would like to use the same kernel sources for all if I can. I already
use same u-boot tree (based on 1.2.0) for all of them.

I would also like to use same filesystem sources for all these
architectures, but that can prove to be trickier...

Thanks,

Leonid.

Hi folks,

PetaLinux v0.20-rc1 is out:

http://developer.petalogix.com

The biggest news is full support for 2.6.20 on MicroBlaze, including our

autoconfig BSP generation tools.

You can see the release notes here:

https://developer.petalogix.com/wiki/ReleaseNotes/rn_v0_20

The 2.6.20 kernel is solid.  We've given it a good thrashing, and fixeda

bunch of bugs since earlier releases, but there's still more work to do.

  Our goal is to push it into kernel.org, which we're doing in concert 
with the PPC folks due to the overlap with device drivers and so on. 
Stay tuned.

As always, feedback to the list on problems, bugs or praise is welcomed!
:)

Have fun.

Regards,

John
