| This is the buildroot board support for the Avnet Spartan6 LX9 MicroBoard. |
| |
| The Avnet S6LX9 Microboard is a small USB-Stick sized module containing |
| a Spartan6 FPGA capable of running the Microblaze softcore processor |
| together with RAM and FLASH memory. |
| |
| The board can be bought from Avnet (avnet.com) or from Trenz Electronic |
| (www.trenz-electronic.de) for a low price. |
| |
| To run the Linux built with buildroot you have to install the FPGA bitfile |
| and u-boot as described in the tutorial AvtS6LX9MicroBoard_SW302_PetaLinux |
| available on http://www.em.avnet.com/s6microboard |
| |
| On this site also is a forum containing information on how to build your own |
| Microblaze processor for the Microboard. |
| |
| The image file (default name is simpleImage.lx9_mmu.ub) has to be copied |
| to your tftp folder (often /tftpboot/) or can be programmed into the |
| board's SPI flash. |
| |
| Sample session: |
| |
| $ make s6lx9_microboard_defconfig |
| $ make |
| $ cp build/linux-<version>/arch/microblaze/boot/simpleImage.lx9_mmu.ub /tftpboot/br12.2a.ub |
| $ minicom |
