Hi Rick, I just checked more closely. The linux 2.6 mld uses the following directories: $XILINX_EDK/sw/ThirdParty/bsp/$MLD_version $XILINX_EDK/sw/XilinxProcessorIPLib/drivers <project directory>/bsp/$MLD_version
If 'edk_user_repository', is an actual directory name, then it is not used in the Linux MLD. - John On Wednesday 28 November 2007 10:15, Rick Moleres wrote: > > John, > > So, the Linux MLD does use the edk_repository to search for drivers > etc...? > > Thanks, > Rick > > -----Original Message----- > From: John Bonesio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 10:54 AM > To: Rick Moleres > Cc: embedded_ip_sw > Subject: Re: FW: CRS - #454833 is assigned to Amit Kasat for review by > eliasd > > Hi Rick, > > It's possible we may need to change some (all?) of our mld's, but the > change should be small (on the order of 1-5 lines). > > - John > > On Wednesday 28 November 2007 08:20, Rick Moleres wrote: > > All, > > > > > > > > Does this impact any of our MLDs? > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > Rick > > > > > > > > ________________________________ > > > > From: Chang Sun > > Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 6:13 PM > > To: Amit Kasat; Randy Robinson; Rick Moleres > > Subject: RE: CRS - #454833 is assigned to Amit Kasat for review by > > eliasd > > > > > > > > Hi Amit, > > > > > > > > I included Rick for this comment/suggestion, since Rick's team has > been > > doing most of the RTOS MLD integration work (Linux and VxWorks).
