Hello,
I'm looking for information concerning Motorola PPC based VME
boards under Linux.
I would like to run Linux on an MVME 2100 board (8240 based).
Has anyone tried this ? I would think that the Sandpoint port
shouldn't be hard to adapt to this board or might just work
on it. Is there something I'm overlooking ?
Also for those of you using the MVME 5100 or other MVME ports,
which VME bridge driver are you using ?
Thanks in advance for any information.
Gerard Flynn

I can let you have patches to MontaVista's Hard Hat 2.0 Linux 2.0
Journeyman release for the MVME2100 - I have it running, using PPCBug for
network (tftp) booting. The configuration also allows for blowing a boot
image into flash, but I've not actually tested that. I haven't tested the
PMC or PC-MIP slots either, so there may still be some hardware
configuration issues.
I haven't looked at VME bridge software properly yet (this port is only a
background project for me), but would be interested in other people's
thoughts about this - there appear to be several possibilities, but I
haven't looked at them in detail.
