Hi Sebastian,

Please open a Webcase with Technical Support and you will be provided the ISO image of the Fedora Live CD.

You can open a Webcase here: http://www.xilinx.com/support/clearexpress/websupport.htm

Please note that along with the Fedora Live CD, you also need EDK, the FMC XM104 Connectivity Card, and the CX4 loopback connector in order to complete the upgrade.

Hello,

I already tried the Fedora 10 Live CD from a colleague, but it doesn't work with my PC. It cant load network and graphics drivers and XServer doesnt start. Maybe with some manual work, its possible to get it run, but I dont have ressources for that.

Is there any possibility to get the PCIe driver run on a newer Version of Fedora?

thanks!

regards,

Sebastian

Sebastian - the supported version is Fedora 10.  Versions other than what is included in the Live CD have not been tested with this kit.
