I don't recommend using any (F)ADS board with Linux/PPC. Trying
to set up the hardware and download a kernel is a horrible
experience. You spend all of your time creating development
tools and none of it developing any application software.
The quality control of (F)ADS boards seems poor as well. I have
spent weeks tracking down weird software bugs only to find some
hardware problem, usually out of spec signals on the board. I
use the board next to it and it works fine.
With high quality boards available from a variety of sources
today, there is no need for the agony of using a (F)ADS board.
I am working on some video interfaces for other 823 boards.
I have a bunch of LCD screens that I have to prove to work with
the 823.
I will keep you posted.
