Scope Even though Xilinx supplies a cute wizard for creating peripherals in its EDK (version 13.2 in my case), it’s just enough to work as a demo. For a real-life case there’s no escape from getting down to the system’s guts. As it turns out, things are pretty well organized under EDK’s hood, which makes [...]
This is part IV of my HOWTO on running Linux on Microblaze. The outline is as follows: Part I: Introduction and setting up the Microblaze processor Part II: Compiling the kernel Part III: Preparing for boot and booting Part IV: Compiling user space applications (this page) Compiling user space applications We shall now look at [...]
The setting I got an AudioCodes MP202B as a phone line adapter from my Israeli ISP, Netvision. The normal way to connect it is putting it between the computer and the ADSL modem, so it does the “dialing” (sending username and password). This was a no-no for me, because I have a little home network [...]

Spoiler It’s very likely that you don’t need to read this. If all you want is to get a Linux kernel to detect a Microblaze processor on an Xilinx FPGA, the relevant information is in another post of mine. This post goes into the details which are necessary to understand, if you want to write [...]
