Hi Abdelmajid,

I'm not sure that I understand why you want to do this. Making an ACE file out of U-Boot helps you in the development process of your Linux kernel/application as it allows you to download the Linux kernel and the RAM disk through the network, thus allowing to change the Linux kernel withouth having to rebuild the ACE file (containing U-Boot). If you were to include the Linux kernel with U-Boot you would have to rebuild the ACE file whenever you change the Linux kernel.

If you are trying to boot Linux from an ACE file there is an easier way. Build your Linux kernel with "make bzImage" then build an ACE file from the bitstream and the Linux kernel:

$ xmd genace.tcl -jprog -board ml300 -hw \ implementation/download.bit -elf zImage.embedded -ace top.ace

You can have U-Boot and Linux in two seperate ACE files and chosing one or the other with the dial on the board or through the touchscreen/bootloader that ships with the board.

is it possible to put u-boot with Linux image in an ace file?

Hello,

I am working on an ML300 board. I build my HW platform and I generate my ace file using the HW and U-boot like this:

make an ACE file out of bitstream and U-Boot: $ xmd genace.tcl -jprog -board ml300 -hw \ implementation/download.bit -elf u-boot -ace top.ace

is it possible to put u-boot with the Linux in an ace file?

Thanks

Abdelmajid
