Check Freescale's Website - there is a vendor list somewhere... Check Denx' Website. Don't worry about Linux. The guys here did a great job! 8-) I am successfully running Kernel 2.4.2x and 2.6.10 on an embedded Board with the MPC8540 - with just very little tweaking from the official Kernel. Have you decided what development System/HW you want to use? There are several vendors who sell ready to use 854x boards with different add-ons and flavors. Additionally, if it comes to some more add-ons (i.e. Graphics and IDE on PCI you might re-use some of my ideas. > I've been in embedded OS / hardware area for many > years, but a 100% newbie when it comes to Linux.

And prepare for a steep learning curve. :-) Clemens Koller _______________________________ R&D Imaging Devices Anagramm GmbH Rupert-Mayer-Str. 45/1 81379 Muenchen Germany http://www.anagramm.de Phone: +49-89-741518-50 Fax: +49-89-741518-19
