Any of the mpc5554 systems I've see don't have enough ram to run > Linux well. I'm ready to work a bit more than just compiling the kernel and run it on MPC5554. On my target system there is a possibility to use external RAM connected to the External Bus Interface, so I don't see this would be a problem in my case. However, I have not much experience running Linux on PowerPC environment. Could you suggest a PowerPC port which would be a good starting point to make support for MPC5554? As far as I could find out I'll need to create a device tree as documented in the linux/Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt file. Regards, Márton Németh
