RE: Ocotea board?

The AMCC 440GX processor is by no means obsolete. There are more
customers for this processor every month. There is a new, comprehensive
evaluation kit called "Taishan"
(http://www.amcc.com/Embedded/evalkits/440GX_PB_1_04.pdf), which AMCC
provides to customers and partners. "Ocotea" is a board that was
originally designed and used for processor validation purposes.

Regards,
Charlie

Thanks for all of the replies, it's nice to hear that the 440GX isn't=20
obsolete yet...   A relatively arbitrary decision, but I'm going to send

the Ocotea board to Josh.

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=20
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=20
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.

The board has been hacked a little bit but still works fine.  I just=20
powered it up and it happily booted Linux via TFTP.  The boot ROM now=20
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=20
storeroom purgatory.
