Looking for prebuilt PPC board with miniPCI slot

Looking for prebuilt PPC board with miniPCI slot

[Andriy Korud]

Hi,
we are looking for a embedded board with at least one miniPCI slot and =
Ethernet port with performance at AMCC 405EP@333 level and Linux 2.6 =
support.=20
Have anybody heard about something like this preferably in Europe?

Thanks in advance,

Hm, our EB405 only runs at 266 MHz, but there are other PowerPC-based
modules you can stick onto our EBC2 carrier board.

We also have an office in warsaw.

There is the Inrinsyc Cerf Cube 405EP 
http://www.intrinsyc.com/products/mob_ref_sys/cerfcube_405_ep/  . It has 
a MiniPCI slot and uses the 405EP . I don't know where it stands as far 
as 2.6 kernel support. I'm pretty sure nobody is actively supporting it 
with the current 2.4 kernel at this time though. You might have to call 
them to find out where software development stands. They might be able 
to make you some with a 333MHz part.

Hi Andriy;
I dont know what you should buy but I know what you
should not.
I ordered a Kontron's MPC8540 e2brain board, it took 3
months to get the board, or how to say, only the
hardware of the board, but there was nothing important
(linux source etc) on the cd, then we asked for linux
source to Kontron, but they said us, it did'nt
released yet and it!ll not be avaible at least 3
months.
I advice you to contact with www.wbc-europe.com or
it's local office, they have got a eval board simmilar
to what you want.

I am sorry for your bad experience with Kontron.

I also understand it doesn't help you now if I tell you I'm sitting at
the source here and would have happily provided you with a preliminary
version of either a 2.4 or a 2.6 kernel for this board.

About the delay of the hardware, the eb8540 is a recent product, and
from a engineering point of view, you'll understand that marketing
people tend to hype products even when they're not quite ready for
large-scale production (which has changed as of this writing).

I am advocating a stronger orientation towards the linux community for
quite some time now, and it slowly seems to catch on, so please don't
give up on us yet!
