List-Id: Linux on Embedded PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , In case I'm not I beg your pardon in advance. I have got the task to get Linux running on an embedded 975 PowerPC on a full-custom prototype board (being part of a kind of master thesis work). Though I searched the net for all kinds of relevant information and found chunks of information saying that I need a boot-rom or a boot-loader like for instance u-boot or something, a debugging toolkit and a BDM cable, I have no clue where to start and what to do exactly anyway. So I just hope you can give me some hints what to do and where to search and what's required to reach my goal. I have co-workers (for example the guys who developed the board) who probably can help me when I ask them the right questions. So I suppose I only need some rather gross hints to find the right questions to ask them. Nevertheless I'd also appreciate detailed recommendations, if you actually have some time left. Thanks for your time, Peter Asemann
