hi,

now i have a mpc860fads board, maybe there is a debug monitor inside it.

Hi,

Fads boards don't have any native monitor. You need to flash one on your board.
If you intend to run Linux on your fads, I recommend you using ppcboot as bootloader.

You can find ppcboot at http://ppcboot.sourceforge.net
Also, take a look at the "Linux for PowerPC embedded Systems Howto" at http://penguinppc.org/embedded/howto/PowerPC-Embedded-HOWTO.html. That is a very good guide.

regards

Evandro

A more minimalistic approach would be Miniboot. =)

http://opensource.se/projects/miniboot

The FADS board is supported right out of the box.
Just make sure you use the right crystal.

You could then boot PPCBoot from Miniboot if you want network support,
etc.
