Altium Live Desing Eval and Linux

Is there an implementation of Linux for the Live Design Eval Board(Xilinx). May be a version of uCLinux for Mircoblaze?

Thx

Hi Eric,

The Live Design Eval Board has only 1MB of RAM, there are some reports getting mb-uclinux working with small (less than 4MB) memory but there is no 'get it working in 1MB solution' - this is one problem.

You can make a Microblaze design that is 'uclinux ready' and test it on livedesign board, but you should use EDK for that in order to have the supported peripheral in place (OPB_INTC, OPTB_Timer, OPB_UARTLITE)

An interesting thing would of course be microblaze uclinux system design without EDK using Altium Designer as SoC tool - unfortunatly such a design does not exist - well the SDRAM support was added to Altium Designer only in the release 6.3 (from 26 June 2006?), so there is defenetly no uclinux that would work on system made with Altium Designer.

Ok, thanks. If linux wont work, what about ECOS, VxWorks,....? Do You have an Idea?

1 VxWorks only supports PPC not MicroBlaze 2 eCos is not ported to MicroBlaze either

so both of them will not work on the live design eval board

uC/OS would defenetly work, for some while ago I tested it on Microblaze, I think I got it all fitted into BRAMs, with 1MB SRAM you should have no problems
