Re: Spartan 3 & uclinux

Why you're starting a new thread??? You already asked about some other Xilinx board and I answered you the memory requirements!!!

Re: Spartan 3 & uclinux

For MIPS-like targets, a minimalistic uClinux image is about 1-1.5M. The size of text section of this image determines your memory requirements.

An ultra-small uClinux can get to an image of 700-800KB but not less i think.

OK! (This reply is from my friend JOHN)

uClinux on Xilinx microblaze here

Xilinx's marketing people have some wishlist pricing for their new
spartan3 devices - they claim that a microblaze processor can cost as
little as (US) $0.75 - that's assuming that you buy about 500,000
devices at a time, and can find something meaningful to do with the rest
of the FPGA logic that is not housing the Microblaze itself.

Most of my work so far has been doing the port, testing standard uClinux
applications, stuff like that. I haven't yet done anything "useful"
with it, although that's about to change soon.
As far as I know there is only one commercial product so far using
uClinux on Microblaze, a sort of network enabled embedded controller
thing from a Japanese company. They expect to ship at the end of
January, I believe.
