Using Intel's microcode assembler on Linux
It seems that Intel's microcode assembler (v 1.2.76) for the IXP1200 runs under WINE, a Windows compatability layer for Linux. This allows the entire VERA/Libixprouter toolchains to run under Linux. See http://www.winehq.com/ for more information about WINE. Once you have WINE running you can make the following changes in the Libixprouter/ue/src/Makefile: Replace line 43: < AS = $(TOOLSDIR)/uca with:
AS = # Uncomment the following line to compile under WINE AS += wine -- AS += $(TOOLSDIR)/uca
This change will be in the upcoming release of Libixprouter which should be available fairly soon. Zuki -- Yitzchak Gottlieb zuki@CS.Princeton.EDU

We have also been trying to get Wine to run with the Intel tools and were also successful in using it to run the Intel assembler. However, one thing we were not successful in doing was getting Wine to run the FUtil.exe program to update the flash on the board. (the program didn't seem to be able to open the serial port. It certainly didn't upload the flash image.) This is probably due to our inexperience at configuring Wine. If anyone manages to get FUtil working under Wine, we'd appreciate seeing the configuration.
