Welcome to the Xilinx Open Source Linux Wiki site. The goal of this site is to provide better collaboration for the Open Source Linux work that is being done in Xilinx. Xilinx provides a Git server to help with open source development and collaboration, but there is limited documentation on the Git server.
Our goal at Xilinx is to push more of our code into the kernel mainline, but that will take time. The goals of this site are to document Xilinx uniqueness with Linux and U-boot rather than to tutorialize them in areas already documented on other web sites and in books. If you are a Linux newbie, we expect you to do your homework prior to this and get other reference material.
All content on this site is considered AS IS and is not supported by technical support of Xilinx. Users are encouraged to use the open source mailing lists for the Linux kernel and u-boot.
This site works best with Firefox browser and may not work as well with other major browsers. After all, this is a Linux Wiki, would you expect anything less.

Patches Against Xilinx GIT Repositories
You can send patches to moc.xnilix|tig#moc.xnilix|tig and our goal is to incorporate thoses patches assuming they are good patches that have been adequately tested.
Reference Systems And Other Files To Download
Click on the "files" button at the bottom of this page to make the files visible that can be downloaded. The reference designs (bit streams) for each of the supported Xilinx platforms, ML405 and ML507, are contained here. A ramdisk is also located here.
Note: the ML507 has changed the reference system it uses 3 times. As of 9/8/08, any pull from the Xilinx GIT tree uses the reference design available from xilinx.com, see More Details below. Between 6/31/08 and 9/8/08, the kernel used ml507_rtos_dma_v2.bit which is contained in the files section of this page.
