Correct, no patches to support 410 have been submitted to either the u-boot or linuxppc mailing lists as far as I know. You'll need to get the patches directly from Xilinx. I do know that they exist, but I have not worked with them at all as I don't have access to an ML410. > OTOH, if someone could confirm that this platform is NOT currently supported > that would be just as useful -- decisions can be made and actions taken. There are a number of Xilinx folks who hang out on this list, hopefully one of them will see your question and reply. Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc. P.Eng.

The pages do contain information, documentation, and examples on how to use U-Boot and Linux 2.4 on the ML410. There are Linux 2.6 solutions for the ML40x boards (ML403 and ML405) from MontaVista and Wind River. Since the ML40x boards are in key parts identical to the ML410 you can use those ports as a starting point for a port to the ML410. - Peter Joe wrote: > I was told (by Xilinx reps!) that the Xilinx ML410 "supported" Linux. > > My goal is to have something "load" Linux and then execute it -- > preferably over NFS / Ethernet (for development purposes). > > As far as I can tell from searching the 'Net the ML403 is fairly well > supported but I have yet to see any level of confirmation that the > ML410 fully supports u-boot, Linux and Ethernet. > > When I download the u-boot file(s) from Xilinx they basically don't work: > > 0) I get a u-boot command prompt via the serial port!! ;) > 1) The u-boot loadb command fails to accept any data via the kermit > protocol > 2) The u-boot 'dhcp' command fails to obtain an address -- either > by simply crashing or by sitting there indicating that it is re-trying > (in which case an Ethernet sniffer shows no activity from the Ethernet > ports). > > Linux 2.6.19 shows arc/ppc/configs/ml[403|300]_defconfig, but I see > *zero* indication that the 410 is supported.
