Re: Xilinx BSP for linux 2.6

Hi Ming,
   If your Xilinx EDK generates the xparameters_ml300.h file for the
ML403 board then it has been configured with the right parameters and
address required by Linux. Don't look at the existing
xparameters_ml403.h file in the kernel source. It has got too many
parameters with address initializations that might not suit you at all.
I think its safe to copy the ml300.h onto ml403.h. I tried it... the
kernel compiles without any problems.

  I DONOT have a ML403 with me. But does Xilinx EDK generate
xparameters_ml300.h in the BSP instead of xparameters_ml403.h for the
ML403 board?

Yes. EKD only generates ml300.h instead of ml403.h, although you specify 
the platform is ML403.

You need to just copy the xparameters_ml300.h file (if that is what
xilinx EDK generates) as xparameters_ml403.h in
arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/xparameters/ folder. Configure the kernel as 
ML403.

I don't think so. I have looked into these two files. I found that there 
are many differences between them. Not only the addresses for each 
peripheral are different, but also the parameters' names. So If we just 
simply copy ml300.h file as ml403.h, many parameters will be undefined.

Like I said to you before, if you want to get started quickly and
without much headache.. then please go step-by-step. Try the things I
mention in the article PART I without applying any patches.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will start from the beginning.

Please DONOT hesitate to ask further clarifications!

It is really like a big family in the Linux world because of the help 
among the persons. Thanks for all the help from the friends in Linux world!

Regards
Ming
