Not enough interest? We (DENX) have been maintaining those TQM8xx boards (U-Boot & Linux). But till now nobody asked us to port these over to arch/powerpc. You may understand that we won't do this "just for fun". If you are interested in an arch/powerpc port for these boards, we could do this of course. Please contact me off list if you are interested in such a project. Thanks.
