A 2.2-kernel. The board we used had a 860 and a Texas DSP + some kind of FPGA, great for telecommunications... I wrote a small piece of boot software that could be compiled to be placed in the internal DPRAM by a BDM or be burned into flash. The boot software then started a zImage from ram or from flash. I would suggest you to burn a zImage.embedded into the flash. / magnus On Sat, 15 Mar 2003 00:12:59 +0100 Guenther SOMMER wrote: > > > i'd like to start linux on a dsp-board (where no linux has gone before :))) > > > > it's a dsp-board with some dsp on board an a motorola 860 processor. the > > board itself has 32mb sdram and 8 mb flash. the board has a bootloader > > integrated, which configures the mpcs and start a simple "boot-aplication". > > i didn't write it straightforward. i mean it should run on the > control-processor (the mpc860), not on the dsps itself. but i think it > would be cool, if linux lets the "dsp-dolls" dance :) > > grettings, guenther sommer. > > > ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
