Hi,
updated the http://ppcboot.sourceforge.net/ project homepage and launched a
mailing list at http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/ppcboot-users/.
Everybody interestend on the PPCBoot development should subscribe.
Announcements will be posted to ppcboot-announce and linuxppc-embedded :)
At the moment I have to merge patches from Rudi Hofer, David Brown, and Duncan Palmer
received until now before the CVS tree will work.
Found that the 8xxROM sources will become a problem to maintain if they stay in their
form as they today are! I think that one possible project goal will be the
maintainbility improvement of the sources and a configuration frontend :)

Hello,
I thought I'd mention a project I have worked on for 403-based
boards... It's called PPCForth (http://ppcforth.sourceforge.net). It
is currently targeted for the IBM 403, as I don't have an 8xx board to
try it on yet (this is a goal for the future). It is rom-able so you
can boot directly from it, and has some ifdef's to slim the code down to
as little as 10K or as large as 30K. It accepts S records over the
serial port for loading other software. Unfortunately it is written in
assembly, but then it's really small, right? ;-) Anyway, I've used it
for a couple years and gradually improved it. I released it recently
under the GPL, so hopefully it will be useful to someone. Oh, and it is
(as may be obvious) a small implementation of FORTH which is handy for
testing and small programs, although I went overboard and included
multitasking and a lot of low-level device control words.
