Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-embedded@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Hi Everybody..... I am currently in the process of figuring out what the minimum external hardware requirements would be for a new project we are working on. We currently use a motorola FADS board with an 850SAR for some other non-linux development, has anyone booted linux on this configuration? For various reasons we would like to run linux on either a MPC850SR or or MPC860SR or MPC860T. The final design of our system will be custom, but as usual, its probably beasier to start with something semi-standard. We don't need most of the goofy desktop stuff, (video, HDD, FDD, swap, etc), but we do need ethernet, serial, and other I/O Further: Can anyone tell me: Which SIMPLE SBC boards work with a minimum of fuss. What kind of driver support is there for perhipherals based on USB How much ram is really needed for the kernel image itself What minimum external perhipherals other than I/O are needed/supported? (RTC? NVRAM?) Is there any reference as to what external perhipherals might be supported? Like external UARTs, Net adapters, PCMCIA cards, etc?
