XUPV2P, which kernel 2.6. device drivers are available?

Thanks Benjamin,

I'd like to have your 10/100 MB xenet patch as well.  I happen to be
working on this same driver this week.

XUPV2P, Kernel 2.6.17 boot problem

[Benjamin Heyne]

Dear all,
I am currently trying to get the 2.6.17.1 Linux kernel
running on the Xilinx Virtex. I have the 2.4 kernel up
and running - No problems there...

But when using the 2.6 kernel (have copied xparameters file,
patched for using TEMAC driver) with the same hardware configuration
the following happens:


loaded at:     00400000 0061813C
board data at: 00616124 0061613C
relocated to:  00405148 00405160
zimage at:     0040585D 00615F42
avail ram:     00619000 20000000

Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600.....

Uncompressing Linux...inflate returned FFFFFFFB
exit


Now, I am not really sure where to start searching for the bug
(I just want to implement some drivers - not the kernel itself ;-).
The zImage.elf file is about 2MB large. Did anyone encounter
a similar error? Does anyone have some hints where to
look at for debugging, or what might be wrong?

Thanks in advance
Best regards

XUPV2P, which kernel 2.6. device drivers are available?

Hi all,
despite having problems with zlib, I'd like to know which
device drivers for the XUPV2P have already been ported
to the 2.6 kernel? - I don't want to do work twice ;-).

For practicing, I just ported the original Xilinx ENET 100MBit
driver (seems to work in FIFO mode, including MII - At least I
can mount and use a NFS root file system)...but that has probably
already been done elsewhere. I saw that work is going on for 
the SystemACE. - So what about VGA, AC97, PS/2, SATA?

Best regards

Hi Benjamin,
    I had ported the ENET driver but it was a bit buggy. Could you send 
me your driver patch so I can test it?

Thanks,

Hi,
I have put all necessary files into an archive. I have implemented
the driver into a patched version of the 2.6.18-rc3 kernel, so
I thought it would be the best to provide all modified files in an
archive (also, I am not familiar with generating patches and stuff... ;-).
Please feel free to provide a "real" patch.

Ok, here we go:

http://www.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/mitarbeiter/heyne/xilinx/xilinx_emac_26.zip

Be warned:
This driver probably can be considered as BadHack(TM) -
It's the first one I am providing to the public. So if
you have any suggestions for improving it, please tell me.

TODO (As far as I can tell):
	- Make it a real platform device
	- Make use of the XILINX_EDK config of the TEMAC driver patch
	  (Btw.: Will this be officially integrated into the kernel?).

Any feedback will be appreciated...

Best regards
