SV: [microblaze-uclinux] PetaLinux build: I am very confused, please clarify??
I've had the 0.3 reference design working fine in a split environment, with a Slackware 12.2 machine running the SW side, and a Windows XP running everything Xilinx. This was done by creating a shared folder on the Windows machine, and then mounting this over the network under the Petalinux 'hardware' folder, and re-extracting the package. As far as I can see the userguide wants you to use the shared drive for all the files, but I had some initial problems with symlinks (present for instance in the Linux kernel folders) not working in my Windows folder - and this seemed like the quickest solution;)
I only used this to play around with the reference designs though - don't know if the HW development requires some of the SW files when you're going to do more custom stuff...?

Simon Falsig

That's not entirely necessary - if you look in the
developer.petalogix.com documentation, there is a page under "Advanced
topics" called non-standard installations. It provides some notes for
how you can use a Xilinx-on-Windows / PetaLinux-on-Linux working
environment.
It's certainly doable, but not recommend until you have a good
understanding of the linkages between the HW and SW flows (as Michal
was describing).
Regards,
John
