Is the Ocotea board (the original 440GX eval board) still interesting? I'm wrapping up a project using the 440GX, I started out hacking on the Ocotea board to get started, but we moved off Ocotea long ago onto our own hardware. I'm cleaning up the lab now that the project is nearly finished and I would like to give the board to someone that will put it to good use. I've sponged off this mailing list quite a lot, it's about time I give a little something back.
Well, the ocotea has an interesting "feature" related to the way the ethernet PHY an EMAC interact which I haven't dealt with in the new EMAC driver at this stage. I -think- the Taishan I have may have the same issue though, in which case I won't need it, but if not, I could have good use (or Josh in Rochester) for one of these.
The board has been hacked a little bit but still works fine. I just powered it up and it happily booted Linux via TFTP. The boot ROM now has u-boot, the original PIBs (or whatever) is long gone. All I ask is that you're self-sufficient and don't bug me too much about it... Can someone recommend a good home? Otherwise it will wind up in storeroom purgatory. jeff _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
