I have sent a patch directly to Wolfgang Denk which adds support for a
custom Virtex2Pro
FPGA (PPC405) based ant2 board. The patch has not been posted to the list
due to list attachment
size limits. The board uses a Xilinx SystemACE to configure the FPGA and a
Compact Flash card to
store FPGA configuration data. The ant2 BSP stores all nonvolatile data
on the CF card since the board
does not have any fixed (i.e. non-removable) nonvolatile memory. The CF
card contains the FPGA
configuration bitstream, the kernel image, the root filesystem image, a
default environment initialization script,
and the U-Boot bootloader image. A small Initial Program Loader (IPL) is
incorporated into the FPGA bitstream
and is placed into on-chip FPGA RAM at FPGA configuration. The IPL loads
the U-Boot image into main
memory and then transfers control. This two stage scheme reduces the
FPGA on-chip RAM requirements
from approximately 256 KiB to approximately 25 KiB.
