Hi,
A customer asked for a training with a freescale eval board and I would
like to use yocto for it.
What I found from the documentation is, that the MPC8313E-RDB Reference
Platform is supported. I'm a bit confused by a list, which can be found
on the Freescale website:
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8313E-RDB&tab=Buy_Parametric_Tab&pspll=1&fromSearch=false
It says:
MPC8313E-RDB,Hardware Only 8313E PROCESSOR BD (SOCK Hardware Not
Recommended for New Design)
MPC8313E-RDB-T, MPC8313E-RDB-U, MPC8313E-RDB-UT, MPC8313E-RDBB seem to
be still supported. What's the difference? What would you recommend?
Besides the PPC the iMX31ADS seems to be supported as well.
What would you recommend? Are there more Freescale eval boards going to
be supported by yocto in the near future?
Regards,
Robert...In all large corporations, there is a pervasive fear that
someone, omewhere is having fun with a computer on company time.
Networks help alleviate that fear.

We're currently using the following board.
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?PName?Name=MPC8315E-RDBA-ND&Site=US&Lang=EN
I don't know which upcoming boards are likely to be adopted, perhaps
Bruce (CC'd) will have some ideas?

The imx31ads is supported by older non linux-yocto recipes, so it
may have some bit rot at the moment. Until it gets refreshed onto
a linux-yocto base, your mileage will vary with it.

Confirmed. This is the board we are currently using.

There are definitely plans to update/refresh the FSL/e500 board
options. Unofficially there's a whole set of boards that will
work fine, and there's a good pool of good quality BSPs that are
viable options.
I hesitate to say more, since nothing has been quite chosen yet
and I'd be speculating or worse misleading at this point. But
a newer e500 based board is something that will arrive once
everything falls into place.
That being said, I can suggest/help with the addition of any of
a number of FSL powerpc based boards, it all depends on what
the requirements are for the board. Does it just have to
be readily available ? Less than 'x' dollars ? Any particular
peripheral support ?
Cheers,
Bruce

Do you happen to have some time estimation for this?

I'm doing a 5 days "Introduction to Embedded Linux" and a 5 days "Device
Drivers and Kernel Internals" training which are pretty much hardware
independent. Just want to avoid using LTIB and want to use yocto
instead, since a "mainline" kernel is definitely preferred over whatever
comes with LTIB. Most likely mainline will work with most of the powerpc
based boards as long as I don't need any fancy peripherals.
Thanks for the offer to help me adding a board. I'll have a chat with my
customer and will let you know.
Regards,
Robert

It said "requires Windows NT or better". So I installed Unix. -- from a FAQ

Nothing that I'd call a solid commitment at the moment.
Hopefully this will be something we can clarify in
the next little while.

A reasonable requirement and something that leaves a good
set of boards available.

Sounds good.
