RE: XUPV2P update to kernel 2.6 fails

Hi

I was setting up linux for teh XUP a few month ago. Both, older Kernels (w=
ith ppc and xparameters=5Fml300.h file) and new ones (with powerpc and devic=
e-tree) from the Xilinx git server worked fine for me, so yes, it should w=
ork.
For more help you should say, what exactly you are doing, but maybe you ha=
ve already found your error.
Cheers,
Joachim

Hi,

  I got Linux up and running as well on the XUPV2P using 
  Linux kernel version 2.6.24 a while back, downloaded
  from the Xilinx git tree.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the answers!

Now I don't feel so alone anymore...

I finally got it to work. The problem was simple: I'm using an
uart pcore from openpcores. And this hardware requires some
changes to the ns16550 kernel driver... With those changes,
everything goes well! I'm happy about that.. ;-)

But... since everything seems to work now with EDK 9.1 I try to
use my XUP-board with the EDK 10.1

In EDK 10.1 there is no board definition file for my XUPV2P.
Right now I use the board file from:

  https://wiki.ittc.ku.edu/ittc/Eecs388#Tool_Repository

Now I got even stranger bahaviour than before. When ever I try
to boot into a linux kernel, some arbitrary boot parameters seem
to appear. Like:

	Loading from 0x00004000
	[...]

And after those messages the system hangs. (the real messages
vary from time to time)

I have to say that for the MemoryTestApp there seems to be no
problem.  It runs like a charm..

So now I'm wondering if anyone has a board definition file
usable for the linux kernel on the XUPV2P??

Thanks a lot for any hint!

Kind regards,
Jan

You have better to use EDK 9.1.=20
I tried to use EDK 10.1 for the xupv2p and I used the board defintion file
from=20
  https://wiki.ittc.ku.edu/ittc/Eecs388#Tool_Repository .=20
Linux 2.6 booted correctly, but I failed to get the Ethernet working.

So I used EDK 9.1 to generate the device tree. Now I have linux 2.6 on my
xupv2p, with root file system=20
on a remote host (nfs boot).
I still have a problem, I didn't succeed to access the flash disk (pbs with
sysace driver).

If you want more precise informations, I can help you.

Good luck :)
