Anyone using Montavista mobilinux?

Hi all,

I am starting a new design for a mobile device, with a virtex 4, and based
on the ppc405 hard core it has inside.

Because of power issues, we are thinking about a OS which implies low
disipation, and we have heared about mobilinux (Montavista distribution, I
think).

I would like to hear some oppinions or different possibilities.

Thanks and have a nice day!
Paula

ELDK 4.0 Release?

[Jeff Stevens]

Has anyone heard when ELDK 4.0 is going to be
released?  I read on denx that it was going to be
released around the middle of October.  I'm not
complaining, I understand it's free software.  I'm
just wondering if I should wait for 4.0, or try to
build my own 2.6 linux filesystem.

Thanks,
  Jeff Stevens

The plan was to have it ready for final testing by end of October and
ready for release for the SPS/Drivers trade fair. But there are still
problems we want to fix before the final relase.

I guess we need two more weeks from now - assuming  no  new  problems
will be found. If you like you can try a beta version...

Best regards,

Lots of thanks for the reply.

If you do not bother to aswer me again, do you know which devices are
supported by Mobilinux? I cannot find that information in the web, and if
one of them is Virtex II-Pro, it would be a good new for us.

Thanks again!
Paula

Yes, mobilinux is a MontaVista product (it used to be called Consumer
Electronics Edition some time ago).

So far I haven't heard about plans to support Virtex 4 in Mobilinux.
Please contact MVista in an official way - I was mostly developing for
the Professional Edition (the most generic distribution with minimal
set of additional features) and may not have the whole picture.
Probably Virtex 4 support in Mobilinux could be done as a Professional
Services project.

Pro Edition LSP for Virtex 4 based Xilinx ML403 board should be available
in Q1 2006. But power consumption is not in the requirements for this LSP.

Andrei
