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). > What kind of problem stop you ?

(as RTOS or other) 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. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
