All of my development hosts are Macintosh (iMac, iMac DV,
PowerBook, G4 server) running Linux/PPC.
No JTAG or BDM necessary as I am using the ROM on the board (DINK).

Time and money.

8240.

No.
Motorola gave me the 8240/Sandpoint to develop the kernel. I
spent a few weeks of my own time, have a system booting with
root NFS (PCI Ethernet), ran Apache and some other tests. I
never had the 8259 interrupts working correctly with the
OpenPIC on the 8240. I gave the code to MontaVista to continue
the development. Depending upon the time available, I will either
check in what I have or wait for MontaVista to fix it and then
check it in.
The problem with the Sandpoint is we need a better boot rom
to support Linux/PPC. Their standard DINK only supports S-record
download over the serial port.
