I ported it a long time ago. It's part of the kernel sources. Don't
try to use the EST tools, though. I don't know if they have a boot rom
for that board yet, but I suspect you can flash PPCBoot with the EST tools
and then throw them away.

I don't know if the MontaVista Journeyman kits are around anymore, but it
was supported and documented in there.
You could also search the PPCboot (and these) archives for information.
The board was more popular a couple of years ago when it was one of the
first ones around. Lots of other, easier to use boards are available now,
for less money. My EST boards became non-functional long ago, and they are
on the scrap heap.
Good luck.
