Yes, booted by PPCBoot from flash.
so i cannot hold the ppcboot (u-boot) on the flash, i
need the changes in my linux image , or using a linux

You will always need a boot loader to initialize the hardware. This
is what PPCBoot is doing for you. Only then you can start Linux.
(I know board needs bootloader anyway , but i don't
know what it is. is it ppcboot? or ELDK makes a
bootable linux?)
Yes, PPCBoot is the boot loader. Do NOT replace it, just use it.
Any other point of view is really wellcome.
