I have tried it on microblaze but I don't have any setup which I can directly run but I know it works. Then I can run it on qemu without any issue and also I have setup for Xilinx boardfarm which contain hundreds of boards. The main question for me is how to make it stable. I also want to try SD boot mode with flashair which Stephen tried. I have it here. i have scripts ready but just didn't run it. Thanks, Michal -- Michal Simek, Ing.
