Hi Phillipe

I have another Question about something, I asked a while ago.

I realizes that there is a support for Xilinx Boards such as the ml300 at the mainline tree. I compiled the mainline tree successfully for my XUPV2P and tried to use the xenomai-patch then. I used the newest (I believe 2.6.26) Kernel and the newest xenomai (2.4.5) version, so I tried the adeos-ipipe-2.6.26-powerpc-DENX-2.2-04.patch patch. Unluckily that failed. What would I have to do to get the patch working for my mainline tree? Will it work for my XUPV2P (Virtex 2 Pro) Board then?


Greetings & Thx
Joachim
