hi, can u suggest me how to start with porting linux on to mpc8250 the host system i am using is i386 processor with redhat 9 linux running on it, and the porting on to mpc8250 as target system. some body has suggested me to first go for developing a toolchain setup. can any one suggest me how to proceed for this as this tool chain should be a host /target development toolchain, with some cross compilers etc.
please help me out in this regards bye mallikarjuna. >From: Wolfgang Denk <wd at denx.de> >To: "Kevin A.
