Date: Thu, 6 Jul 2000 15:28:26 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-linuxppc-embedded@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I need to use the MPC823 FADS to develop a diskless linux box that boots and loads the kernel via Ethernet (BOOTP/TFTP). I use a PC with RedHat 6.2 as host. I have read a lot of informations on this mailing list about working with this family of PPC, but there are many questions that i'd like to ask you: 1) does 8xxrom support BOOTP/TFTP to boot from ethernet? have anyone done this? 2) does 8xxrom support the boot from PCMCIA compactflash? What type/manufacturer? (i think writing new kernels on a compactflash is better then loading it via the ADI card) 3) it is possible to run the 8xxrom when connected to the debugger via the ADI card? 4) i created my cross-compile development tools by following the instructions on http://members.home.com/mmporter/linux/cross/ . Are them compatible with my MPC823 or i should apply others patches to them? 5) i use 8xxrom.0.3.0 without any patch. It is correct? 6) i use the kernel mpc8xx-2.2.13 with damm and bossek patches but no math-emu, because it seems making the kernel not compilable. Is that configuration suitable for the FADS? Thanx in advance! Your help is very helpful!! Bye, Arsenio ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
