You can download the kernel, but it will not run ;-)
The Linux kernel relies on a lot of initialization to be done by the
firmware - things like initializing and sizing the memory, passing
boot arguments etc.
I suggest you start porting PPCBoot.

Hi
I have ported rom monitor code[Openbios from IBM] for my custom
board[PPC440GP Processor]. The custom board doesn't support ethernet. Now I
want to download a linux image to the RAM of my custom board. What linux
image I have to build to download to RAM using JTAG of Riscwatch Debugger .
Thanking you in advance
Regards
Aman
