XILINX_VIRTEX_5_FXT is the FPGA architecture, which has a 440 and can be
on a number of different boards.

Thanks,

Could you add that as some help text under the config option for 5_FXT?
That way you don't have to answer that question over and over from
stupid people like me :)

josh

Not a problem, I'll add it and respin the patch.

If this is for generic Virtex 440 board support, why is it selecting a
specific Virtex 5 board?  Or am I confused as to what
XILINX_VIRTEX_5_FXT is?

Virtex 5 FXT if the FPGA chip

Virtex440 is a Virtex 5 with a bitstream that enables the embedded 440
processor.
