Hi all,
I'm trying to boot the 2.6 xilinx kernel downloaded from their git server in
the XUPV2P board I'm really having troubles (I can't see anything in the
minicom console terminal). I'm not seeing anything, neither the ucompressing
kernel string nor the prompt with the memory addresses that kernel prompt at
first time, so I have started to distrust of anything.
When I download the kernel using xmd, I see:
XMD% dow imagen_UART16550_ml300.elf
section, .text: 0x00400000-0x0040387b
section, .data: 0x00404000-0x004e6fff
section, .bss: 0x004e7000-0x004e919f
Downloaded Program imagen_UART16550_ml300.elf
Setting PC with Program Start Address 0x00400000
and when I download some of the TestApp generated by EDK I see:

Does anybody know why the kernel elf don't have a boot section like the
TestApp generated by EDK?
I suppossed this is because the image kernel is compressed, but despite
beeing compressed it should have a boot section or something similar ???
It's right that the kernel start address is set to the 0x00400000??
Or does the section .text contains all the kernel code to uncompresse the
code of the kernel??
