Projects Xilinx MicroBlaze FPGA

Greetings,
I saw this project for Xilinx Microblaze FPGA processor based evaluation =
boards.
I=E2=80=99ve had some workplace experience with the uBlaze in a product =
offering.
I guess one item that is a bit limiting is that the full, on-fpga =
ethernet support requires a license. It isn=E2=80=99t part of the =
included licensing with the EDK.

Was there any idea of which evaluation boards that you=E2=80=99d like to =
support?
I=E2=80=99m partial to the boards that Digilent is producing. While =
Xilinx has gone forward to the ARM in fabric, I=E2=80=99m still partial =
to the idea of soft CPUs. Digilient has a few boards that are still in =
production that could be targeted and perhaps we could find an open FPGA =
ethernet VHDL project to get around theXilinx ethernet lite problem.

Then, of course, there would be the SATA problem.

I guess that determining the list of target evaluation boards here would =
be key. Most users are going to want to use an evaluation board that =
they can get from the distributer or ebay.

I=E2=80=99m tending to lean more towards the COM express PICMG approach =
of a processor module that mates with an ATX type carrier board.

Sorry about the rambling. Just figured that I=E2=80=99d touch base. I =
was just hoping to see some NetBSD support in the future since it =
appears that Xilinx stranded the Petalinux uBlaze port, basically.
