For my internship, I have to implement Linux on a Virtex4. I know a few things about the Virtex4 because I am specialized in digital electronic (VHDL). I have to choose a solution for the Linux to implement. At this stage, I have some problems to determine the best solution probably because things are not clear for me whereas I have read a book about Linux embedded and seen a lot of websites. I have seen several distributions (maybe my vocable is false) from MontaVista, LynuxWorks and others. I have seen also kernel2.6 for Virtex4 (http://git.xilinx.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=3Dlinux-2.6-xlnx.git;a=3Dsummar= y). I would like to understand the difference between these two things. If I have understood MontaVista for example offers a solution with a C library and drivers, isn't it ? So is it a better solution than kernel2.6 ? I prefer to start with the kernel given by xilinx, it is an internship so the aim is to learn the more I can but I have to convince my tutor that it is a better solution than MontaVista, BlueCat or =C2=B5C/OSII. Do you have = some arguments ?
