Hi Ming

You will find informations to build linux 2.6 BSP in the file
EDK_8.2\sw\ThirdParty\bsp\linux_2_6_v1_00_a\doc\linux_2_6_v1_00_a.pdf=20

This file is installed with plateform Studio

<----> Dear Michael,
<----> Now I update my Xilinx design software from 8.1 to 8.2 and notice
<----> that
<----> there is already linux_2_6 support. Then I generated the BSP for
<----> linux 2.6.
<----> I found that there are some differences from the older version, =
e.g.
<----> there
<----> are some files such as XMakefile, xps_connected.cud, etc. I am
<----> confused
<----> with this. So could you please give me a hand on how to use such =
a
<----> generated BSP to build my linux 2.6 kernel? I cannot find any
<----> guidance on
<----> how to do that. Thanks for your help.
