Olivier San, The address of each device driver of LSP of MontaVista Linux and the address of each IP of the generated circuit match? Although your detailed environment is not known, the general way of investigating is as follows. Check where the processor was stopped by the stop command and the processor has stopped after runing from xmd. If compared with stopped address and the address of System.map or disassembling list of vmlinux, it should be able to be decided by which processing it has hangs. Disassembling of vmlinux can be displayed by powerpc-linux-objdump -D vmlinux. Best Regards, Yoshio Kashiwagi - Nissin Systems
Hi, we have a v4fx12lc fpga board from memec which we are trying to get Linux to boot on the ppc processor. We have generated a linux kernel
for
nfs using the MontaVista support package. We generate a bitfile with
the
following hardware peripherals in it : RS232 Ethernet_MAC Led_4bit Push_buttons_3bits DIP_switches_8bit OPB_INTC_0 When we download the linux image with xmd we see nothing on the screen. When we type "run" nothing appears on the screen and Linux does not boot. Has anyone had a similar problem ? We are stuck! Any ideas would be appreciated. We can boot a linux ramdisk kernel provided by Memec on the same board using their bitfile. So the board seems to be working in general. Thansk for any pointers and excuse us if we are posting to the wrong list (this is the only list we could find which seemed useful) ! Olivier Goudard
