Hello:
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; For&nbsp; an&nbsp; embedded&nbsp; target&nbsp; you'll&nbsp; probably&nbsp; want&nbsp; a&nbsp; developement&nbsp; board
that&nbsp; is&nbsp; already&nbsp; supported&nbsp; by&nbsp; your&nbsp; distribution's&nbsp; kernel.&nbsp; A&nbsp; few&nbsp; common&nbsp; ones
supported&nbsp; are&nbsp; Motorola&nbsp; 's&nbsp; MBX860,&nbsp; Embedded&nbsp; Planet's&nbsp; RPX,&nbsp; BrightStar
Engineering.&nbsp; Check&nbsp; the&nbsp; particular&nbsp; distribution&nbsp; you&nbsp; want&nbsp; to&nbsp; use&nbsp; before&nbsp; you
buy.&nbsp; Stay&nbsp; Away&nbsp; From&nbsp; The&nbsp; Motorola&nbsp; Fads&nbsp; Boards!
  We are looking for a evaluation board for
  MPC855 or MPC857.

  Could you tell me why staying away from
  Motorola Fads boards?
  Does Fads have any terrible defects??

  Thanks

  kirk
