You need a kernel that supports your specific board, yes. According to the Embedded Planet web page, there should be a 2.6.10 BSP available. This will be based on arch/ppc being dead in less than twelve months, so for the long term you should start looking for support for your board in recent kernels, i.e. arch/powerpc. > - VisionProbe II with VisionClick > > I am planning on using DENX and U-Boot. Congratulations. We will be perfectly happy helping you on a professional basis, but maybe you only want to use our free toolchain ELDK, though :) > Can I put a Linux image with the VisionProbe II? Put where? In RAM, in flash? I would think that any self-respecting JTAG debugger should be capable of doing this, but I only know the BDI2000. Cheers Detlev -- In God we trust.
