Accessing NTFS Shares from Freescale MPC8313

Accessing NTFS Shares from Freescale MPC8313

[Chris Plasun]

Hi,

(I haven't found any answers in the archives)

How would I access a NTFS shared directory from a Freescale MPC8313?

Will Samba run on a Freescale MPC8313?

Thanks,

Chris Plasun

It should (and if it doesn't, file a bug with them).  

Userspace is pretty much the same at the source-code and user-interface
level -- the answer to "how do I do X on this PPC board" is generally the
same as the answer to "how do I do X on Linux", other than that you may
need to compile some packages manually if they don't come with whatever
distribution you're using.

Thanks Scott.

I did some more reading on the board and it appears that it's not as 
limited as I thought. The "custom" Linux we're running is very limited 
(so it appears) and I interpreted the board to be so as well.

I'm a Windows ASP.NET developer thrown off the deep end into Linux so 
please forgive the noob questions. After going through many post it 
appears my questions are pertinent to general Linux.

Thank you!

To build your own fully-open Linux for this board, I can recommend
both these projects:

LTIB (http://www.bitshrine.org/)
OpenEmbedded (http://www.openembedded.org/)

We use the latter in an industrial setting with much success,

Thanks Leon. I'll definitely be back to ask for help to get these 
distributions running =)
