Booting with a ramdisk is a matter of putting the appropriate image in
the arch/ppc/boot/images directory (I obtained mine from the gsrd
design files), adding the root=/dev/ram rw on the command-line boot
options, making the .config changes for ram disk support and initrd
usage, and issuing a make zImage.initrd command.<br>
<br>
Beware when upgrading to 2.6.18.1 as you may have difficulties with the
adapter.c you obtained previously. The adapter.c in EDK 8.2 is not as
easy to find. Using the EDK to generate software components for linux
will not expose the proper adapter.c. I had to use the path that Rick
Moleres posted earlier to retrieve the adapter.c which I used for
2.6.18.1 and in my notes.<br>

I am booting with a ramdisk using initramfs. Aside from its being
somewhat harder to find documentation I beleive it is actually easier.<br>
<br>
In the simplest form, create a directory on your host that contains
exactly what you want on the ramdisk.<br>
Enable CONFIG_INITRAMFS<br>
and point the CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE to that directory.<br>
<br>
It is pretty much that simple. The linux build process creates a
kernel - I use zImage.elf that has the ramdisk compressed and
concatentated.<br>
Nothing except the Linux kernel itself has to make any
accomidations for the ramdisk. The bootloader does not have to deal
with another file, or pass pointers to it to Linux, ....<br>
It took some time to get it working - mostly because I did nto know
what I was doing, but in hindsight it is really easy.<br>

<br>
<div>This is great! I played around for a while with the
Sysace CF driver patches and got it to work. Since you are booting with
ramdisk image would you be kind enough to add more text on how to do
that? I see that you are using UART Lite? Does it require any special
setting for the boot logs to show up on the standard hyperterminal. </div>

I have attached a txt file of what I had to do to get it working under

1. copy or ftp the following files from
C:\EDK\sw\ThirdParty\bsp\linux_2_6_v1_00_a\linux\<br>
to the base directory of the linux source tree<br>
<br>
USED:<br>
arch\ppc\platforms\4xx\xparameters\xparameters.h<br>
<br>
** UNUSED<br>
arch\ppc\platforms\4xx\virtex.c<br>
arch\ppc\boot\simple\embed_config.c<br>

<br>
2. copy
C:\EDK\sw\ThirdParty\bsp\linux_2_6_v1_00_a\drivers\temac_linux_2_6_v2_00_b\src\adapter.c
to<br>
../drivers/net/xilinx_temac/adapter.c<br>
<br>
3. copy or ftp ..\linux\arch\ppc\platforms\xilinx_ocp =>
drivers/xilinx_edk<br>
Note: Remove all old files first *except* Kconfig, xio.h<br>
<br>
4. modify drivers/xilinx_edk/Makefile with the following to look like
this:<br>
<br>
# Linux file to EXPORT_SYMBOL all of the Xilinx entries.<br>
obj-$(CONFIG_XILINX_EDK) += xilinx_syms.o<br>
#<br>
# # The Xilinx OS independent code.<br>

xpacket_fifo_l_v2_00_a.o xpacket_fifo_v2_00_a.o \<br>
xversion.o<br>
<br>
5. Modify your copied xparameters_ml403.h (see notes below) as follows:<br>
add these lines after #define XPAR_PLB_TEMAC_0_INCLUDE_RX_CSUM<br>
<br>
#define XPAR_TEMAC_0_IPIF_RDFIFO_DEPTH XPAR_PLB_TEMAC_0_RXFIFO_DEPTH<br>

#define XPAR_TEMAC_0_MAC_FIFO_DEPTH XPAR_PLB_TEMAC_0_MAC_FIFO_DEPTH<br>
#define XPAR_TEMAC_0_TEMAC_DCR_HOST 0<br>
#define XPAR_TEMAC_0_INCLUDE_DRE 1<br>
<br>
<br>
6. (optional) modify arch/ppc/platforms/virtex.h to accomodate RX_CSUM
XPAR<br>
<br>
struct xtemac_platform_data {<br>
#ifdef XPAR_TEMAC_0_INCLUDE_RX_CSUM<br>

u16 mac_fifo_depth;<br>
u8 dcr_host;<br>
u8 dre;<br>
u8 mac_addr[6];<br>
};<br>
<br>
7. Modify ../drivers/net/xilinx_temac/adapter.c to remove #include and<br>
add #include <br>
add #include <br>
<br>
