I am sorry if my questions appear trivial. I am new to PowerPCs and am quite lost. I do have a HardHat CDK1.2 cd and I have succeeded in running linux on an ARM machine. I'm stuck at the PowerPC and one of the things I'm lacking is hardware documentation. > > On a slightly different note, is this processor the same as the MPC860? > > Yes, sort of.

What kind of "Motorola" > board do you have? The board I have has an embedded XPC860MHZP50C1 processor. Apart from this a DRAM slot, a parallel port, 10BaseT slot, standard stuff, I assume. Does this mean that I can use MPC860 documentation without any major differences? Thank you once again. regards, Sid ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
