I guess I will be posting the boot rom and the loader for the EST8260 when I get a chance later this week. I then load and flash a kernel the same way. I have some flash utilities that run from Linux and just reflash kernels into different areas for testing. I have just finished a program to hack the zImage header so the VxWorks boot rom will load it. I only spent about half an hour, so it needs a little cleaning up, but it seems to work. I am hoping someone will provide a TFTP loader for the code I post....... -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
