hi Ruedi, > Is my procedure correct? if you have trouble with the mksrombin program writtin by Magnus so please contact him because i do not use it...
> How do you download the kernelcode to the board? first i'm using 8xxROM from Magnus with patches from me. this patches alows to use a real IDE drive connected thourght the PCMCIA interface where my Linux kernel can be saved like with eatch other hd. Magnus use also this solutions but he use PCMCIA FLASH-CARDS with a IDE interface. i use the mpc8xx-2.2.13 kernel with some patches so you can also get mathemu support from 2.3.33 and so on... take a look at http://www.s4l.de where all the stuff you need can be found... do NOT forget to report me your expiriences so i can make a support list of boards + cpus, board-revisions ect. my patches influence the 8xxROM. if you use the 8xxROM you have only to use the hd or a rom-drive (in flash; read the source-code). i have had to create a valid elf file because my flash utility only works with valid elf files (SDS Debuger Flash Utility througth BDM-Interface/Wigler). i hope i can find time after my vacation to play with the mpc8bug; i never used it! summary: 8xxROM with PCMCIA HD + ext2 + dos fs support -> FLASH Linux -> 4GB HD connected to PCMCIA with ext2 fs i hope i can find some time make pictures after my vacation of the running system in the meantime i fight with cross-compiler creation and so on...
