A very fine company has paid me money to port Linux/PPC to the
EST 8260 (not EST). I have it nearly completed and when they are
satisfied it meets their needs I will update the CVS according to
their wishes. There is some software associated with it that
was not derived from GPL, althought it would be nice to include
that as GPL in the Linux tree. The port will include support
for the serial ports, Ethernet on SCCs, and 10/100 on the FCCs.
Motorola gave me an 8240 Sandpoint that I have been using in
my free time to port Linux/PPC. Since this is a personal
contribution of mine, people that pay me obviously have priority :-).
I should update CVS with the current sources....there are still
some bugs in the configuration of the interrupt controller for
the ISA bridge and 8259.

You just did it.
