[microblaze-uclinux] PetaLinux build: I am very confused, please clarify??



In various recent discussions with me on this mailing list, regarding my efforts to build the current (as of a week ago) SVN version of PetaLinux, several people (including Michal Simek and John Williams) have made references to the version of EDK that is being used to build the Linux package.  I don't understand what they are referring to;  I go to the PetaLogix SVN server, download the current version of the software package, extract, run "make menuconfig" (but don't actually change anything) and "make all".  I then spend some period of time resolving the various failures which pop up.  As far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with the Xilinx EDK... 

Actually, I'm trying to figure out how to build this package *before* the hardware engineer gets involved (he's the one who is busy with the EDK right now).  I *thought* I would be coming up with a .elf file and passing it to the Xilinx developer, who would somehow link it into the design somehow, but it looks like it isn't that simple.

Clearly I'm misunderstanding something fundamental about how this process works, I would be grateful if someone could clarify it for me.  If there's some tutorial somewhere that engineers are supposed to read before they try to develop for embedded Linux, feel free to point me there.  And thank you all, again, for all the help that you've provided so far!!
