port VNC to Xilinx ppc

port VNC to Xilinx ppc

[d8341linux]

Hi, All:

I have booted up linux on Xilinx ML403 board (powerpc on Virtex4), and
my next step is to port VNC server on it. 

Is there a place I could download VNC on PowerPC? 

Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Kevin

I'd recommend going to one of the VNC providers.  Google is your friend.

Hi,

I believe you should be able to compile tightvnc 
<http://www.tightvnc.com> for powerpc.

Could I ask the general steps to get a Linux system running on the 
Xilinx ML403?
I've been trying to do the same thing here...

I'm particularly interested in how to compile a kernel (I'm using the 
kernel tree from git.xilinx.com) using the BSP generated by Xilinx EDK 
(9.1, for the moment, but I'll likely upgrade to 9.2 this coming friday)

Kind regards,

Jeroen De Wachter

Here are my notes:

Don't use the full EDK generated BSP.  Instead, generate the BSP and
extract the xparameters file for your design and copy it manually into
the kernel tree.

Cheers,
