Hi Ujwal,
    Linux has support for Xilinx Virtex II Pro FPGA with PPC405. I am 
sure you can compile for your specific board (MEMEC). Long time back I 
had come across a doc. related to Linux on MEMEC. Try googling for it... 
may be its still there.

The key is to configure (or set the defines of) the Linux BSP parameters 
that are specific to your board!

cheers,
-Ameet
