Is this correct? If it's correct, then how would I be able to program the Platform Flash? Do I program separate bit file and elf file, or do I program an ace file or ?? I have the ML40x Getting Started Tutorial in which there's a section on how to program my own flash image. But I couldn't really understand some things in it, such as a PROM file, or adding file to Revision no. and etc. Can someone help or point out a more detailed document? My eventual goal is to be able to use the platform flash to start u-boot and then boot linux image, which will be stored in linear flash. I think I have all the parts ready (u-boot image, uImage, and hardware bitstream), but just lack of the understanding to put in this particular configuration. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Aleck
