It's going to take me a while to get used to this new board. I always find that I end up spending more than 2 to 3 months, just getting to know each platform to a good level, the last two ones being the Gumstix TI OMAP 3530 and the Xilinx ML507. I'm going to brace myself, its going to be a deep dive I think! :-) > > Adrian Alonso's meta-xilinx layer had some *.bbclass files, that invoked the Xilinx tools to create the ace image files, so perhaps that could be modified to automate the process or getting the final BOOT.BIN file. Unfortunately I do not have the Xilinx tools installed on the machine I do the builds on. I'd love to post a working BOOT.BIN, but 1) I haven't tested this on he zc702 yet, and 2) I need to work out if I can distribute the binary since it includes GPL u-boot and non-GPL fsbl. I understand it will take some time to get up to speed. I am finding the Xilinx workflow based around planAhead to be "challenging". Philip > > Best regards, > > Elvis Dowson >
