MPC405 - supported?

MPC405 - supported?

[David N. Welton]

I've been having a look at the mailing lists, searching sites for
information and so on, but I haven't been able to find anything that
indicates one way or another whether it is or not, and how well.

Thankyou,

	Are you referring to the IBM PowerPC 405 embedded processor?  IBM
part numbers are PPC405 (not Motorola MPC505).  I am pretty sure that the
4xx numbers are IBM parts.

	I have seen patches from MontaVista for 405 support in the
toolchain, so they may be working with PPC405 chips.

Err, yes, that must be it!

Yeah.  We demoed an IBM-built 405GP development box at the LWE a few weeks
ago, running some Hard Hat Linux-based setup acting as a web server, IIRC.
I'm not sure to what extent the various embedded controllers and stuff are
supported, but the core functionality works, anyway.  :-)

It seems secure at first glance.

Yes, there is extensive support for the IBM PowerPC 405 embedded processor
family (405 based processors from IBM include the 405GP, 405CR, STB03xxx, NPe405)
available from MontaVista.  The development web site is currently slightly stale:

  http://dev.mvista.com/projects/405gp_status/main.html

There is newer source on the ftp site than the web page describes (September 9)
and there should be a newer version of source and an updated web page within
the next few weeks.
