[U-Boot-Users] Re: Xilinx ML403/PPC U-Boot support

[Peter Ryser <peter.ryser@xilinx.com>]

Brad,

I've uploaded a zip file that contains FPGA designs for ML300, ML310, 
ML403 and ML410 as well as an U-Boot snapshot with all "Xilinx" patches 
included to
ftp://customer:xilinx at ftp.xilinx.com/upload/xapp542.zip (12 MB)

The design for the ML403 maps the Flash at the reset vector. I have 
several ML403s that completely boot from linear flash - bitstream, 
U-Boot, Linux kernel. I've enabled MTD support in the Linux kernel. With 
that I can upgrade bitstream and Linux image from within Linux.

As you can see from the name the uploaded zip file is part of a project 
to update the current Xilinx application note XAPP542 with a newer 
version. I'm kind of been waiting for the September patches to be 
applied in the U-Boot CVS but figured Wolfgang must be busy with other 
stuff as I was myself.

- Peter
