hi folks,


my name is thomas trying to make embedded linux run on a powerpc, but we've got special boards here, although we use a xilinx virtex4 fpga...

as you said in the nabble-thread (see subject), i set up edk9.1 software platform settings und ran libgen to get the xparameters* files. i copied those bsp files into the kernel tree (i use your kernel linux-2.6-virtex from git.secretlabs.ca/git). after configuring the kernel settigs, i try

$ make ARCH=ppc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-eabi-
    

You should be using a Linux cross compiler, not powerpc-eabi-.  The
Xilinx cross compiler will not work to compile Linux kernels.

You can build yourself a cross compiler using 'crosstool':

Alternately, you can download ELDK:

hi,
thank you much for this hint. this was the last thing i thought of... ;)

so long, keep on cross-compiling! :)

regards,
thomas
