Where to store the Linux kernel.

2006-07-27 Thread Frank D Lombardo
Ming,

I am using an ML403 in a similar way. I have the download.bit file
stored in platform flash. U-Boot, the Linux Kernel and initrd are stored
in the linear flash.

 Hello everyone,
 Now I am doing a embedded linux project on the board of ML403(virtex4, 
 ppc405). In my product, I cannot use CF card. So I have to use flash memory 
 to store the Linux kernel. Except for the Linux kernel, also I have to 
 store the hardware information of the system.bit file. I know in ml403 
 board, there are two types of flash. One is Platform Flash and the other is 
 Linear Flash. Can anyone tell me how can I arrange my hardware .bit file 
 and Linux kernel zImage.elf file and store them in the flash provided in 
 the board? Can I put both of them in the Platform Flash chip? Thanks for 
 the telling. 

 Regards
 Ming

Where to store the Linux kernel.

I used the VP20 before.   You can use the Xilinx's tool to generate the .ace
file from the .elf, bit stream, etc and put it in the CF.

It is very simple ponce you do it once and Xilinx has very good app note to
tell you exactly what need to do.
