Linux for MPC5554 or MPC5534 (core e200z6)?

[Németh Márton]

Hi Grant,
Hello List,

is there anybody who was successfully run Linux kernel on Freescale MPC5554
[1], [2] or on Freescale MPC5534 [3], [4]? Both of these embedded PowerPC
controllers have the e200z6 core.

Is there anybody who is working with these controllers or with the e200z6 core?

I'm not aware of anyone working on Linux for these chips based on the =20=

e200z6.  What application do you have that you want to run Linux on =20
them?

At this time I am just looking to see what kind of operating systems these
chips can run. I think the first step to run Linux would be that the MMU
and serial console starts to work then maybe I would check how the PF_CAN
interface ( http://lwn.net/Articles/253425/ ) would work on this device
if a FlexCAN2 driver is available.

Is there any other powerpc port with e200z6 core?

I'm not aware of any other parts w/the e2002z6 core.  The MMU code =20
exists in the kernel for e200, but probably needs some updating/=20
rehashing.

I'm pretty sure nobody has done a Linux port to any of these chips.
Nor do I know of any work having been done in the past.
