I wonder if I can load a linux kernal image (EDLK for example) from it? I heard that there is another boot code called u-boot. I wonder if anyone had use it before on Walnut? if yes, do you recommand me to use it? I would like to add an audio PCI board in the walnut board and would like to configure/diagnosis the board during the boot time. IBM come with their ROM monitor source code but the compiler is not free (High C). I want to have capability to modify the rom monitor/boot loader to add my own diagnostic code. Do you think u-boot is good enough? --jC ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
