I have the prpmc610 borad(with MPC8245), I have the board's vxworks bsp, did anybody have experience to migrate from the vxworks to Linux system? I think the main problem is initial the boards.You start porting a boot loader, like U-Boot.
To see if I could get Linux to run on our MPC5200 board I politely asked the vxWorks bootloader to boot the Linux kernel via ftp. It worked. I used the Denx kernel for the Lite5200. I had to compile the kernel with good default parameters (ip address, nfsroot, serial setup etc.) as I couldn't make the vxWorks bootsector parse kernel parameters. It was a good and very easy way to demonstrate that Linux could run on our board. Esben
