Linux on Motorola LoPEC

From: André Lämmer <hidden>

Hi!

I have a Motorola PPC-board. It is the LoPEC-P011 with PPC5-Bug version
1.3. The board has only a network connection an no hard disk or flash
memory.

Now, I want run Linux on it. My idea is to load the bootloader with tftp
und mount the filesystem with nfs. The problem is, that I cannot find
any working bootloader. I tried ppcboot, but there is no config for the
LoPEC.

Do anyone know a installtion guide for this board? Or is there a working
bootloader and kernel?

I think what you mean is that you want to load the zImage (compressed
kernel + arch/ppc/boot/... bootwrapper [+ initrd]) and mount the root
filesystem via nfs.

That board should have come with working firmware.  Did it get erased or
something?  If so, you should be able to get a fw binary from Morotola.

Look on the MOT website.
