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. > 4) What is best way to get in touch with embedded MPC 82xx > developers?
