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 > > Cheers, > > Bruce > >> > ...I read the system requirements label on a software package recently. It said "requires Windows NT or better". So I installed Unix. -- from a FAQ My public pgp key is available at: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x90320BF1
