I have a memec mini-module board. I've loaded and run the reference design and I am able to boot all the way into the Linux prompt. However, my design doesn't need ethernet so I deleted it. Now it doesn't even run the code in the initial BRAM successfully. I've traced the code and it seems to end up at the _exit crt function. (BTW, is there a way to get the c symbols in XMD?)
Any ideas why removing the ethernet would clobber the system to the point that even the uart doesn't work?
Thanks, Clark
I think the linux kernel file (zmage.elf) which is precompiled (ie if you are using reference design ) contains the ethernet in it. SO if you want to work without ethernet you will have to disable the ethernet option in the linux config file,recompile the kernel and also remove it from the mhs/mss file and then try.

A am also a Virtex-4 MiniModule user. I also want to use Linux on it. Where did you get this Linux reference design?
