Hi Rick, I saw on linuxppc-embedded at ozlabs.org that you are trying to port (or = better you did) monta vista linux to Avnet's V4FX Mini-Module. I will = try to deal with the same thing. My design is basically the same: all = features of MM incorporated in CoreConnect style architecture. I also = tried with Multi Port Memory Controller (MPMC2) and ported (memory = works, but for LAN I still need phy datasheet) the Gigabit System = Reference Design (GSRD2) to Mini-Module. By using the MPMC2 memory core you can connect PPC directly to memory = using two PLBs (data and instruction separated). This way you might = solve the CPU cache errata. The problem with MPMC2 is that it consumes A = LOT of BRAM and logic. I tried to build a full featured system, but = V4FX12 lacks logic for the purpose. Is there a way that you can help me with running MV linux on my system? Cheers, Ales Gorkic
