Embedded Linux to PowerPC Board?
How do I know the available Embedded Linux ports for PowerPC? Regards, Mukund jampala
See <http://denx.de/e/index1.php?head=3Dsolution-se-head> Download the Embedded Linux Development Kit (ELDK) from <http://www.denx.de> =0D http://denx.de/e/index1.php?head=3Ddocs-head&main=3Ddocs&subnav= =3Ddocs-subnav& logo=3Dlogo-se&mainnav=3Ddocsnav&bottom=3Dbottom-se This is the #1 easiest solution (in my book at least) to a cross development environment. Read the documentation there DENX U-Boot and Linux Guide (DULG) -- while it says 8xx, it generally applies to all PowerPCs. <http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual> If you need a boot loader (quite likely), look at u-boot. Download it and read the README file for instructions on how to port it to your hardware. U-boot is also associated with Wolfgang Denks (denx.de). <http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot> Good luck and read carefully. There is a wealth of good information in those resources. gvb ****************************************** The following messages are brought to you by the Lawyers' League of IdioSpeak: ****************************************** The information contained in, or attached to, this e-mail, may contain= confidential information and is intended solely for the use of the= individual or entity to whom they are addressed and may be subject to= legal privilege.
