XUPV2P update to kernel 2.6 fails

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone got the XUPV2P board successfully up and
running with a recent 2.6 kernel?

I didn't succeed. I tried the newest kernel from xilinx git (2.6.27) and
also an older one, 2.6.22 (also from xilinx git). For the newer I used
the "device-tree" as bsp. For the 2.6.22 I just copied over the
xparameters_ml300.h file.

In both cases no output at all was observable at the uart. Not even a
single sign from the uart at any time...

Strange is, the same download.bit file is working with a 2.4 kernel.
Could it be a kernel .config issue?

But can this really be a software/kernel issue? For the 2.4 kernel there
was an output from the "bootloader"  (some addresses and the
"Loading..." information) even for wrong configured kernels...

On this list I was reading something about setting the uart clockfreq
correctly in the .dts (it was not set at all, I have to stick with EDK
9.1). But this didn't help for me.

To boot the FPGA I have to use an ace file on a cf-disc. For this I use
the download.bit file together with the simpleImage.virtex405-XUPV2P.elf
(on 2.6.27) or zImage (on 2.6.22)...

Any suggestions on this? Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Jan

You should visit http://xilinx.wikidot.com as there's more information there.

In general, this board is not directly supported, but is very similar to ML405, a board with a Virtex 4 and a 405 processor.

Thanks,
John

Hi

I was setting up linux for teh XUP a few month ago. Both, older Kernels (with ppc and xparameters_ml300.h file) and new ones (with powerpc and device-tree) from the Xilinx git server worked fine for me, so yes, it should work.
For more help you should say, what exactly you are doing, but maybe you have already found your error.
Cheers,
Joachim

Hi,

  I got Linux up and running as well on the XUPV2P using
  Linux kernel version 2.6.24 a while back, downloaded
  from the Xilinx git tree.

  Alan.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the answers!

Now I don't feel so alone anymore...

I finally got it to work. The problem was simple: I'm using an
uart pcore from openpcores. And this hardware requires some
changes to the ns16550 kernel driver... With those changes,
everything goes well! I'm happy about that.. ;-)

But... since everything seems to work now with EDK 9.1 I try to
use my XUP-board with the EDK 10.1

In EDK 10.1 there is no board definition file for my XUPV2P.
Right now I use the board file from:

  https://wiki.ittc.ku.edu/ittc/Eecs388#Tool_Repository

Now I got even stranger bahaviour than before. When ever I try
to boot into a linux kernel, some arbitrary boot parameters seem
to appear. Like:

        Loading from 0x00004000
        [...]

And after those messages the system hangs. (the real messages
vary from time to time)

I have to say that for the MemoryTestApp there seems to be no
problem.  It runs like a charm..

So now I'm wondering if anyone has a board definition file
usable for the linux kernel on the XUPV2P??

Thanks a lot for any hint!

Kind regards,
Jan

You have better to use EDK 9.1.
I tried to use EDK 10.1 for the xupv2p and I used the board defintion file from
  https://wiki.ittc.ku.edu/ittc/Eecs388#Tool_Repository .
Linux 2.6 booted correctly, but I failed to get the Ethernet working.

So I used EDK 9.1 to generate the device tree. Now I have linux 2.6 on my xupv2p, with root file system
on a remote host (nfs boot).
I still have a problem, I didn't succeed to access the flash disk (pbs with sysace driver).

If you want more precise informations, I can help you.

Good luck :)

Hi Joachim,
Did you have the sysace working fine?
thanks
