I found the DENX website to be very helpful, but I'm struggling to understand a few items: 1) The source from kernel.org appears to have support for the powerpc (arch/powerpc/8xx_io). But when using 'make xconfig' I cannot select PowerPC from the list of processors. Is this just a limitation on the the configuration utility? 2) What is the difference between the sources on DENX and kernel.org? Are there other places where PPC linux kernel source is stored? I'm not opposed to using the DENX source, I'm just trying to understand it. 3) I've used eCos before and I'm familiar with RedBoot. Is there a compelling reason to use U-Boot over RedBoot? For example, I think U-boot contains an NFS client while RedBoot does not. Is this important? Thanks in advance, -- Matt __________________________________________ Yahoo!
