SystemACE on Kernel 2.6

SystemACE on Kernel 2.6

[rodolfo]

Hi Grant likely,

I got kernel 2.6.20 from kernel.org and I want boot it on XUP Virtex II Pro
University board.
I edited the Makefile putting:
 ARCH? = ppc
 CROSS_COMPILE? = ppc_4xx-
But I can't see anything about SystemACE driver on make menuconfig from
this Kernel. How can I add SystemACE controler?

I compiled the kernel repeatedly generating a file zImage.elf. I used this
file with the genace.tcl from Xilinx and this opt file:
-jprog
-board user
-target ppc_hw
-hw implementation/download.bit
-elf zImage.elf
-configdevice devicenr 1 idcode 0x1127e093 irlength 14 partname xc2vp30
-debugdevice devicenr 1 cpunr 1
-ace system.ace

to generated ace file and put it in FAT16 partition of CF card, like a lot
of references in web. But it doesn't works!
Which IP cores must be present in my project of the EDK?
Still speaking in the EDK Did i have to mark bram with ppc_405_0_bootloop? 
Did I have to mark bram whit any software project?

My work in with Linux on Virtex don't work. I am almost dropping...

Thanks!!

This is an old kernel.  Use a current kernel.

- Did you generate an xparameters_ml40x.h in edk and copy it into the
kernel tree?
- you need either a uart16550 or a uartlite for the console
- Make sure the matching serial driver is compiled into the kernel
- Make sure console support is enabled for the serial driver
- Make sure your kernel boot parameters include 'console=ttyS0,115200'
for uart16550 or 'console=ttyUL0' for uartlite.

Cheers,
g.

Hi,

The mark of BRAM is good at bootloop.
Priority is given to specified initial pc if -start_address is specified
by an opt file. Before starting a Linux kernel, can TestApp_Memory or a
TestApp_Peripheral program be started from CF?

The opt file which I am using is as follows.

-jprog
-hw implementation/download.bit
-ace cfboot.ace
-board ml405
-target ppc_hw
-elf zImage.elf
-start_address 0x00400000
