Can you run "/sbin/lspci -v" when linux Miha> boots and check if the card is detected by linux? The test I reported where done on a plain motherboard, without any bootable medium. I only looked whether the card was recognized in the bios. Now I plugged in the card into my normal PC (with my normal APG cards as first video card) and it booted. Again, the card was not reported by the bios, but lspci reports: 00:0d.0 Bridge: Unknown device 2321:0001 (rev 01) I could also insmod spartan_fb.o after recompiling, and after "modprobe fbcon-mac" . The kernel reports: vesafb: framebuffer at 0xcf80000, mapped to 0xccf80000, size 300k vesafb: mode is 640x480x8, linelength=640 vesafb: scrolling: redraw Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30 fb0: VESA VGA 1 frame buffer device fb0: VESA VGA 1 frame buffer device However I can't test with a monitor yet, as I placed the VGA connector on my plug-in Board in such a silly position, that I can't connect the cable. I have to think about an easy workaround and will report later. Regarding Webpack: You can download Webpack for free from the Xilinx site with a license for unlimited time and for recent devices with sensible size (e.g. up to XC2S300E). XST as synthesis tool is included. I think you use synplify as synthesis tool for openpci. I don't know of a Snyplify version free of costs and not time limited. So with webpack, only tools free of costs are involved in the toolchain (icarus, webpack, naxjp or impact from xilinx). So I guess, people will appreciate support for webpack in openpci. Download is about 160MByte, and the diskspace installed is about 550 MByte. If you decide to test webpack, let me know if you need help. I would also like to upload at least the ucf file modified for the Memec Spartan200 board. Obviously the Eagle design file for the plug in board are not yet ready to use without modification, but at least they define the connectors and more. Bye -- Uwe Bonnes bon@e...
