I don't think you have to add any VHDL Code for the ppc (2 of them on my V=
2)
But I use a Kernel from here
http://git.xilinx.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi=3Fp=3Dlinux-2.6-xlnx.git;a=3Dsummary
because there are already some drivers for my Evaluation Board intergrated=

I already got some trouble. But this could also be because I don't know=20
what exactly to do. Is there a good Step by Step howto you know=3F I don't
think one of the howtos at the xenomai site explains how to setup xenomai.=

What is this ipipe thing=3F


>Which framework =3F

An application, basing on this framework (written by someone at my college=
,=20
who isn't here anymore), which bases on rtai, was running on linux on a ce=
leron.
This application should be ported to the Virtex 2 Pro by me. So I ask myse=
lf how=20
hard it would be, to use Xenomai (perhaps with this "rtai skin=3F=3F") instead=
 of rtai.=20

Thank you for you answer and help.
Greetings
