I've made evb405ep.h match U-Boot's u-boot.h, but that hasn't helped my problem. I guess I have two questions then: - Does the build environment (from ELDK 3.0) for the 405EP evaluation board use the file mentioned above? Is that the place where I have to make the board_info struct match the struct in U-Boot (u-boot/include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h)? - Has the Linux/build environment already been ported for this particular board? It's in the Makefile and there are certainly board-specific files available in the above directory. So, I figured that I wouldn't have to go through a porting process to boot Linux. And, again, the IBM bootloader loads and boots kernels just fine. Does anyone out there use this evaluation board, Linux 2.4 and U-Boot or am I really the first?
