kernel for 823 over 16bits

From: Tomas Carmen <hidden>

Hello
I will really appreciated if you could help me with this.
I would like to know if the linux kernel or the bootloader developed for
PPC (MPC8xx) can working well
over a 16 bits environment (FLASH and RAM). I couldn't find  references
about this.

Thanks in advance

You mean you are just using a 16-bit data bus?  Kind of weird, but
the software doesn't care.  Make sure you run with caches on and
make sure you are careful of multiword cycles when accessing I/O
in 32-bit operations.
