Re: Best embedded PPC eval board for Linux

Tom,

If you're looking for a quick, out of the box solution, I highly recommend
Embedded Planet's new 'Linux Planet' product as a starting point for your
search.  This development kit is made up of Embedded Planet's RPX Lite
board (MPC823) as well as a default kernel ready to run on this board,
kernel sources, package sources, a minimal root filesystem for the board,
and development tools for building applications.  Of course, once you've
built a kernel and applications to suit your requirements, you can
purchase just the boards in any desired quantities from Embedded Planet.

We are looking to go to an embedded Linux/PowerPC solution to replace our
existing IBM PPC403 design running IBM's OS Open. Are there any eval boards
out there now with corresponding Linux kernels, ready to boot out of the
box? We are looking to do as little kernel hacking as possible. Our only
requirement is an Ethernet interface, preferably 100Mbit. Nothing "fancy"
like PCI, USB, etc.
