Which board are you speaking of? The FADS? > is there any linux-software to connect to this board? It seems that for some reasons (search this list) the FADS boards are not really attractive to the people who did most of the kernel development. All the rest of the Linux software does not depend on the specific board. You should be able to use any of the existing cross development kits and native tool sets. > one additional question: is the a 'bootloader' aviable for that board? > my target-system is a ebbedded device with mpc823 8megs flash and 32megs > ram. can i boot this directly? or must i write a bootloader myself? Please see the PPCBoot project at http://ppcboot.sourceforge.net , or doewnload the sources from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/ppcboot There are a few people who have PPCBoot running on FADS systems. But I cannot really help you here, since we don't use FADS boards. > thank you for answering me and sorry for my bad english Wenn Du weitere Fragen hast, kannst Du die auch gern auf Deutsch stellen :-) Hope it helps, Wolfgang Denk -- Software Engineering: Embedded and Realtime Systems, Embedded Linux Phone: (+49)-8142-4596-87 Fax: (+49)-8142-4596-88 Email: wd at denx.de You don't have to stay up nights to succeed; you have to stay awake days. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
