The term "BSP" (Board Support Package) is not used much in linux-land. By BSP you are probably referring to a boot program (bootrom) and a linux configuration (kernel/drivers). For a bootrom, I recommend u-boot. There are several 8260 boards in the standard u-boot repository that you can start from and customize for your board. If you go this route, you will want to subscribe to the u-boot-users list https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/u-boot-users For more information, sorted from general to specific: http://www.denx.de/ http://www.denx.de/en/Software/WebHome http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/WebHome http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/Documentation http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/Manual Browse the source: http://git.denx.de/
2. where can I start to develop linux BSP.
Right from the comfort of your own linux computer! (Developing under Windows/cygwin/colinux is possible, but everything is between five times more difficult and infinitely more difficult. NOT recommended!)
3. what are tools available in market to develop linux BSP.
I would recommend downloading and installing ELDK from Denx. It is a reliable and painless cross compiler (THANKS, Wolfgang & Co.!) ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/4.2/ppc-linux-x86/ in particular: ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/4.2/ppc-linux-x86/iso/ppc-2008-04-01_freescale.iso

You are welcome. gvb
