Is anybody working on (or has already worked on) using Linaro tools & builds on the Zynq SoC from Xilinx?
More specifically, is anybody working on using the tools & builds on the microZed board?
If so, may I collaborate with you? If not, would folks on this list mind giving me some "getting started" pointers...
What toolchain would you recommend? Does it matter that the processor is a Cortex-A9 with NEON™ & Single / Double Precision Floating Point?
In the absence of any other guidance, I'm going to proceed down a path of trying the linaro-toolchain-binaries-4.8 on my Ubuntu box to compile the latest U-Boot & Kernel from the Xilinx git repos, attempt to construct a Hardware Pack for the microZed board, and see what happens when I run the Ubuntu Nano build on that.
Thanks for any tips or advice you may offer.

If I had a Zynq board[1] I would look at using Yocto/OE to build its image: http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Yocto https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-xilinx
Using the Yocto build infrastructure you could swap out the default toolchain for the one provided by Linaro: https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=openembedded/meta-linaro.git
I personally haven't tried this, but maybe you could try the Yocto meta-xilinx mailing list to see what response you get?
Best regards, Trevor
