Hi:
I am not new in u-boot, but this is the first time I must deal with Freescale CPU, namely mpc8544 (I have been working so far with Microblaze, ARM9, ppc440 and ppc405). My board is going to be very close to Interpid reference design.
If somebody of you folks can point me to the best u-boot and Linux resources for this CPU and board, I would really appreciate that.
Depending on board hardware-compatibility, it's best to use the latest U-Boot release from: ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ or the latest git-tree: http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=summary
I am fine (for mpc8540 and mpc8548) with Linus' 2.6.24 tree from kernel.org. For development purposes, however, checkout the latest paulus.git from: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git;a=summary YMMV.
For a toolchain, you can go with the Denx' ELDK or use my native CRUX Linux distro which will be published, when I'll find some spare time. :-)
Regards,
Clemens
