Where should I look for the solution?
Applying the BSP to the 2.4 kernel is a error prone process. You need to be using the *exact* version of the MontaVista kernel that EDK is expecting, otherwise it breaks and you need to fix it up manually. 2.6 is much better and you don't need to copy over the whole BSP; just the xparameters.h file. > Did I something wrong by generating the BSP or do I have to use an older > version of the edk/ise? > > When I was trying to find a solution I read some of the things in this > mailing list, and now I'm concered about these 2 points > -Board > -Kernel Version > Is it a good idea to use the ml310? > I want a Linux, an ethernet device, a RS232 device and system-ace.

I strongly recommend moving to 2.6. I don't know if anyone has got rtai going on it for the virtex, but your chances of getting help are much higher because virtex 2.6 support is being actively developed. As for the XUP board, I haven't had a chance to get mine running yet, but I know others have had good success with it. Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd.
