Hi Peter,
Thanks, we had that already. The 8.1i development environment refused to build until we fixed that.
See my other reply to let you know how we did it. The genace.tcl file shipped with 8.1i (service pack 3) has an incorrect ID code for the xf60 part. That threw us off for over a day, as the tool can't find an irlength for that invalid part (since the part ID does not exist.) Rather than erroring with an "invalid id code," it gives an "invalid instruction length" error, which was not useful at that time.
thanks,
wade
Wade,
the v4fx60 has two PPC405. Please make sure that both PPC405 are connected to the jtagppc_cntrl in your MHS hardware project file. You might want to compare your setup with the ML410 reference design available at http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards/ml410/designs/ml410_bsb_design.zip .
The JTAG IR length of the v4fx60 is 14 (6 for the FPGA + 4 for each PPC405, i.e. for the 4vfx60 it's 6+4+4=14)

Hi,
We are trying to generate a system ace file that will program an xf60 using Xilinx scripts,
(and even their impact GUI), using 8.1i, service pack 3 EDK.
Unfortunately, if we choose the ml410 board from Xilinx's genace.tcl script
in their EDK/data/xmd directory, it errors with an invalid instruction register length.
The irlength is listed as 14 in the xilinx script files. I looked and googled and could
not find the irlength listed for that xf60 part in any literature.
Also, if we try to include the zImage.elf file, the script errors out.
Conversely, if we choose an ml403 board (and switch the project to the xf12 chip),
we can combine the zImage.elf file and generate a system.ace file that loads on an
ml403 board.
We can take the download.bit file that refuses to load when combined into the system.ace,
and load it over the jtag port. It programs the xf60 just fine.
If we create an empty system.ace file, the system ace chip on our board signals everything is ok,
but of course, the xilinx chip is not programmed. If we pull the compact flash out of the board,
the system ace chip signals that is can't find the compact flash by flashing the error light.
Has anyone on this list had any experience with this that could lead us in a right direction? We've
tried about 10 different combinations so far with no luck.
thanks,
wade
