Wow !! This is a exciting story for me, as I have been working on embedded Linux for 6 years, (mostly ARM linux, just moved to PPC Linux 6 month ago). To be honest, i am kind a feeling bored on embedded Linux. I thouht it probably going nowhere. I've never thought Linux could make to the space, since I was an Aerospace enineer before and i know VxWorks is the dominant RTOS in that area. Congrat. on Wolf Gang and those who put linux into space !
Merry christmas and happy new year.

"The PowerPC CPUs are running a modified version of the DENX ELDK 3.1 Linux 2.4.25. The bootloader is U-Boot 1.1.2."
Very cool stuff.
Yes, that's really cool indeed.
But I have to correct you're subject line: its not me who made this, it's we all here contributing to this and other Free Software projects. Without such a great community neither U-Boot nor Linux nor the ELDK would exist. I'm just a small piece in this puzzle, and as some of you know all too well I'm too often more a bottleneck than a help.
So all I can say is: Thanks to all of you folks who contribute to all these projects and make such things possible with Free Software.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
