[microblaze-uclinux] uclinux and interfacing with hardware on the Spartan 3E starter board



Hello, I’m currently a Computer Engineering student working on project using the Spartan 3E Rev D Starter Board and Petalinux. I currently have the board running uclinux and have been very satisfied with it. Unfortunately, my professor wants me to take it a step further. He wants me to somehow integrate uclinux with some of the hardware aspects of the board itself. He gave me an example such as running a user app called “lights” through the uclinux terminal which will then blink the leds of the Spartan 3e starter board. I’ve read through the petalinux guides and know that I can write apps for uclinux that run exclusively inside of it, but I haven’t seen any programs that can be run in uclinux that can interact with the board itself, like with the leds or lcd display. Has anyone had any experience with this kind of program? Thanks for any help you can give me.
