Re: custom mpc8240 student project (long)

Thank you all for the suggestions.  The BDI was simply too
 much for the school to spend on a small group of people.
  I did however contact Macraigor Systems and explain my
 situation.  They have donated a wiggler so it looks like
 I'm in business, thanks to Macraigor!

My $.02:

Why don't you just use a regular old EPROM to hold your
 ppcboot monitor image.?

Haven't quite decided on the ROM exactly, still waiting on
 samples from AMD but a regular EPROM sounds like good idea
 for now.

You're planning to run at a very low clock speed on your
 wire-wrapped board.
Ugh!
Better check the 8240 datasheet, there may be lower
 limits to what's allowed.

From the hardware spec it looks like the PLL can be

 configured to 33Mhz/pci 33mhz/memory 100Mhz cpu.
  Hopefully the wirewrap can handle this.

Good luck, Ron

It is starting to sound like I'm really going to need luck,
 so thanks.
