Re: use xilinx gpio from linux on a ppc405

[Jan Mueller <jamuelle@ee.ethz.ch>]

Hi Xavier

I downloaded the linux kernel from the xilinx git archives:

git clone git://git.xilinx.com/linux-2.6-xlnx.git

In EDK 9.1 I also used the opb_emac controller. But for the fun
of it I would love to use the newer EDK 10.1 (Well, not purely
for fun. I hope to see better performance with the mpmc DDR)

But it looks like there is no chance to get my XUPV2P properly
working with EDK 10.1... Just to bad.

Yes, hopefully it will work for you.
