HI,

I'm struggling with an EDK project and a HydraXC here. First of all I
can't get the Hydra to work. I loaded a sample design (PPC linux) from
the CD onto the SD card, inserted it and turned on the power.
Shouldn't I see some output on the RS232 (set to 19200).
About the power. I found in the documentation that it needs a 3,3 V
supply but the leds on the board only turn on if I use 5V. the HydraXC
(its a XC50) is sitting on an eval board (Evalboard S V1.0) so I
assume there is a 5V to 3,3 regulator but I cant find any
documentation for it.
Any ideas or links here?

The other thing is with my EDK Design. I'm using a power pc in it and
just wanted to create s simple "hello world" for now. I generate the
bit file and then copy it onto the SD card right? Is there perhaps a
tutorial for how to create an EDK project for the hydra? I can't
really find any documentation or tutorial for the hydra besides the
HydraXC user manual (V 2006).

thanks
Urban

you should info as needed from there:
http://www.ebmhydraxc.com/

but support from there links to site maintained by ME, and I just now
did take it offline.

anyway EDK reference designs are delivered on the support DVD, so just
take it from there.
