For more information on how to do that:

Also I can send you a small tar file with source, upon request.

Subject: Re: linuxppc on dsp-board



I've actually run Linux on a hardware that might be something like
yours, but it was 3 years ago now. A 2.2-kernel.
The board we used had a 860 and a Texas DSP + some kind of FPGA,
great for telecommunications...
I wrote a small piece of boot software that could be compiled to
be placed in the internal DPRAM by a BDM or be burned into flash.
The boot software then started a zImage from ram or from flash.

I would suggest you to burn a zImage.embedded into the flash.

i'd like to start linux on a dsp-board (where no linux has gone before

:)))

it's a dsp-board with some dsp on board an a motorola 860 processor. the
board itself has 32mb sdram and 8 mb flash. the board has a bootloader
integrated, which configures the mpcs and start a simple

"boot-aplication".

i didn't write it straightforward. i mean it should run on the
control-processor (the mpc860), not on the dsps itself. but i think it
would be cool, if linux lets the "dsp-dolls" dance :)

grettings, guenther sommer.
