Ah, too bad :). > Maybe > we can change the BSP of POK in order to support the MPC8544DS board. It's not only the board. Kernel mode is vastly different from the 601 you're probably targeting today. > In QEmu, is the SMP emulation supported for all e500 or for the e500v2 only? It should work with all e500 cores. Keep in mind that QEMU doesn't implement 100% of the spec yet though, so if you encounter issues, let me know. Alex
