Development hardware

[Thomas Andrews]

Hi Folks

I see in the docs that the Motorola FADS board is to be avoided.
Unfortunately this is all I have access to - Unless someone has
an inexpensive alternative for me ? Suggestions ? I want to play
with the 860T, which is what I currenly have on the FADS board.

The BDM I have is an Ocdemon Raven. There is linux support for this on
the ocdemon web site, but is there an open source bdm driver ? I really
don't want to rely on binaries.

Oh, and one more thing does anyone know if the Raven supports the MMU
table-walk ?

Many thanks,
Thomas

Hi,
we have quit a bunch of boards with the 860T processor available.
If interested, please check into
http://www.pep.com/e2brain
or
http://www.pep.de/products/productdetails.php?productid=139
or
http://www.pep.de/products/productdetails.php?productid=133

We supply a Linux-BSP including a 2.4.18 Kernel for all our PowerPC
boards.
One drawback i should mention: We have BSP's available for our 8245
and 750CX platforms already; the 860T BSP's are under development
in the moment.

How about a TQM860L module then? See www.denx.de => Hardware (all
systems shipping with Linux BSP and ELDK preinstalled and on CDROM)

I was in the same situation as you're now, to only have acess to a FADS board.
We managed to make it work with a MPC850SAR. If you need any directions,
don't hesitate to drop a word.
