Which board use 8260 CPU?

Which board use 8260 CPU?

[dony]

Hello,

    I just downloaded ppcboot.tar.gz files.
   Since my custom board use 8260, I want to find a board  using 8260 from ppcboot/board as a example.  I know "cogent"  board supports 8260, but it seems to be a little complex for me.
Are there other boards using  8260 CPU which can meet the following requirements:
 1  Initialize CPU core registers , SDRAM, MMU,SIU, CPM
 2  Initialize Serial Port and Network (SMC , FCC).
3  Download kernel from tftp server or load kernel from on-board flash ?

Thank you very much.

You are correct - the Cogent platform is a modular system - different
motherboard and cpu module combinations, and the motherboards have
varying I/O capabilities (serial, flash, ethernet, pci, video, ...)
as do the cpu modules - I like the platform a lot, but the ppcboot port
is probably unnecessarily complicated for most other platforms.

Use the "hymod" port as a starting point - but it's probably best to
create your own port.

BTW, this question probably should have been asked on the ppcboot-users
mailing list on lists.sourceforge.net - this list is for Linux/PPC
embedded systems questions. Cheers!

Just check the top  level  Makefile;  it  contains  targets  for  all
standard board configurations, and the definition of the CPU variable
give  you  some hints; there are 3 boards with 82xx CPU at the moment
(some more in the works): sandpoint (8240), hymod (8260)  and  cogent
(8260).

AFAIK, all of them do that.

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.
