Thank you for your information, I am busy with getting XMK working and = building an application with his own makefile (which specifies another = start address as the bootloader). At this moment one thing is not clear = to me: how are interrupts handled? The microblaze jumps to address 0x18, = but in my case that's the bootloader in block ram. And I want to handle = the interrupts in my application of coarse. Is that possible and if so, = how?
TIA, Frank
Hello,=20 I have build a bootloader which is located in block ram. Now I want = to=20 download my final application to sdram and execute it. If I'm = correct, I've=20 to make a linker script in order to make this possible.
Not necessarily. You can simply specify a different start address for = your boot loader and your application on the mb-gcc command line. See = the Makefile_mb.sh and other Makefile*.* files related to MicroBlaze in = the Xilkernel install area.=20 Besides this, I want=20 to use the xilkernel in my application, but not in the bootloader, = is this=20 possible? Yes.=20 I guess I have to convert the application.elf file to a binary=20 file in order to be placed into sdram by the bootloader?! Depends on your bootloader. If your bootloader expects binary then you = have to. I have seen bootloaders that use other formats as well, such = as SREC or some application specific encoding.=20 How are the=20 interrupts handled? Is the interrupt handler from the bootloader = used=20 (because it default jumps to address 0x18)? Can I install a new = interrupt=20 handler which is located in my application?!=20 a lot of questions, I searched at the forums, but there are not much =
examples available. I'm sure there a people who already did this = before.=20 =20
There are some examples of Xilkernel usage in the install area itself = (search for print_thread.c).=20 =20 Please help,=20 thanks
