There are some things you should change: First, PPCBoot is a dead project; development has been discontinued more than half a year ago. For new development the successor project "U-Boot" should be used instead. Second, U-Boot (and PPCBoot) related questions are off topic on a LInux mailing list. Please post such questions to the u-boot-users mailing list instead. > Now, I am working on a custom card such as an MPC8260ADS card. The difference between those two cards is the ethernet: my custom card has two ethernet port, and uses two LXT971A. > > So, I compile a ppcboot for 8260ads. PPCBOOT can't download a kernel with tftp. Is someone has a source code to support the LXT971? Third, if you have a custom card, you should adapt ("port") U-Boot to your hardware. Using a configuration that was designed for different hardware will always cause some sort of problems. Finally, both PPCBoot and U-Boot have been supporting the LXT971 for a long time. > I compile a new kernel, which support LXT971A. PPCBOOT can run it from memory. But the kernel doesn't have network. Well, this is a different issue, then. The Linux driver should perform all required initialization itself, so no interaction with U-Boot should happen.
