To create an ACE file which will be downloaded to the board you will need to combine the download.bit from the hardware base system and the zImage.initrd.elf of the Linux Kernel. Begin by creating a directory under your <Project Directory> called ace which when you are done with these steps will contain the ACE file to be downloaded to the ML-410.

  1. Create ace directory
  2. Copy build/implementation/download.bit to ace directory
  3. Copy linux-2.6-xlnx/arch/ppc/boot/images/zImage.initrd.elf to ace directory
  4. Using XMD create the ACE file
    • xmd -tcl $XILINX_EDK/data/xmd/genace.tcl -jprog -hw download.bit -elf zImage.initrd.elf -board ml410 -ace <ACE Filename>
      • You may need to source the Xilinx tools to use XMD
