Now that Xilinx has released Microblaze 7.0 with an optional MMU (in EDK 9.2), has anyone started working on a Linux port?
There's already a uClinux port to Microblaze with no MMU, but for some applications it would be nice to run "normal" Linux.
I've heard word that some distro's may be working on supporting it, but no specifics. It shouldn't be too difficult to take the non-MMU version and add MMU capability.
Lynuxworks already claims to have a (MMU) linux-port to Microblaze.
Appnote ug258 is a precompiled demo of Bluecat Linux (Microblaze edition), for the Spartan3E Embedded Processing Kit (SP3E1600E.) I tried it out, but since I couldn't really build/compile/test my own applications on the embedded platform, it wasn't all that useful. (Basically, from a user perspective, looking through the RS232 port and ethernet-jack, it looks just like the prelodaed-uclinux demo.)
