Hi

I have build a linux image for IBM PPC 440 using the
src-linuxppc_2_4_devel.tar.bz2 [Powerpc Kernel Source] taken from the
website http://www.ppckernel.org/tree.php?id=5. Now I want to download the
image to the IBM PPC 440 evalkit for which I used elf2ppceval utilility by
Grant Erickson.  I copied the script and named as mkevimg.shar. When I
executed the command  "unshar mkevimg.shar ". I got the following error
This step is unnecessary.  The kernel build process generates a
'zImage.ebony' which is directly bootable on the IBM 440GP reference
board.
Can anyone help me in solving this issue or please suggest the way of
downloading a the 440 image to the IBM PPC 440 evalkit. Also can you suggest
me the cross-compiler for PPC 440.
The ppc4xx toolchain from the free ELDK is what you are looking for.

Hi Matt

I  have downloaded ELDK compiler for PPC 440 evalkit. In the ELDK html file
, it says the the predefined compiler flag as "mcpu=403". Will this ELDK
compiler work very well with PPC 440 processor?. Or are there any other
compilers which works well with PPC 440 processor.

Thanking you in advance

Regards
Aman
