Re: MontaVista 2.6 Kernel support for Xilinx ML40x

The ml403 reference design has several evaluation cores: opb_uart16550, 
opb_iic and opb_ethernet.  They seem to time-out after about eight hours.

Good question.  How long before lockup?  The only core that should be 
licensed is the ethernet, and I know it was sysgened on a system with 
a license.  This is the Xilinx reference design for the ml403 board.

    Wade,

    are you sure that you did not build your hardware with evaluation
    cores of the licenses? If you are using the evaluation licenses
    the hardware (FPGA design) will stop working after a certain
    amount of time and you will see a lock-up.

      In my opinion it is currently unstable, but that is my opinion. 
    I've not been able to keep it powered up for 24 hours without it
    locking up on the RS232 serial terminal.  Also, running updatedb
    over nfs causes it to abort with a kernel panic, although that
    might be an interraction with the nfs server.  (Although even if
    the nfs server dies (which it did not), I don't expect a kernel
    panic).

       I have had it run over 6 hours without issue, so I expect
    subtle memory leaks, not serious problems.

        Frank,

        due to my understanding of the GPL (and i have already
        invested some time
        in understanding the various flavours of open source
        licences), you should
        contact Montavista, and ask them for the sources.

        This board adaption is derivative work of the GPL Kernel, so
        the result of
        this work also falls under the GPL, and has to be made freely
        available
        under the terms of the GPL.

        Subject: MontaVista 2.6 Kernel support for Xilinx ML40x


        I noticed that MontaVista now has their Pro 4.0 version (2.6
        Kernel)
        available for the Xilinx ML40x series of boards.  I would
        assume that
        means driver support for at least most of the hardware on the
        boards.
        Is this code that should be freely available?  How would one
        get a copy
        of these drivers?  I am interested in drivers for the ML403.

        Thanks,
        Frank
