Port embedded Linux to XUP Virtex-II Pro development board

As its free, rich code resource and supporting many kinds of CPU architecture, Linux is making steady progress in the embedded arena. The Virtex-II Pro serials development system, produced by Xilinx company, provides an advanced hardware platform that consists of a high performance Virtex serials platform FPGA surrounded by a comprehensive collection of peripheral components that can be used to create a complex system and meet different special embedded application areas. This paper mainly introduces porting embedded Linux to the XUP Virtex- II Pro development system, and using serials of development tool kits. It is a good guide to develop embedded system with FPGA development system and Linux.
