From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <3678367F.B4519A13@jlc.net> Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1998 17:38:55 -0500 From: Dan Malek MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Cort Dougan CC: linuxppc-dev Subject: Embedded 8xx update Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I have been fielding lots of personal e-mail lately about the embedded LinuxPPC ports, so I thought I would take a minute and post some notes. I have some boot rom software that I used in my 860T/FADS board, and a 2.1.127 kernel that usually boots on that board. I placed them in the embedded directory of linuxppc.cs.nmt.edu. The rom software is a collection of stuff from Motorola and adapted Linux kernel functions. Probably the most important is it contains working UPM programming for 100 MHz SDRAM on a 50 MHz bus. I hope it will serve as a base for anyone to do something more. I have no intention of updating it. It served its purpose for me and should be used as a reference. I am only going to work on hardware with real debug monitors from now on :-). I am working on, and have finished, several ports to 821, 823, 850 processor boards. I am trying to merge all of this into the 2.1.131 baseline, including making useful modifications to the configuration scripts. I hope to have this done soon, and the upcoming holidays will probably allow that to happen. If anyone needs a port to one of these processors or other type of board, let me know and I can probably help out rather quickly, hopefully saving you from replicating anthing I have done. Prior to having everything merged into the baseline, I could probably be convinced to drop a tarball on the server sometime. -- Dan [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
