[U-Boot-Users] U-Boot and PPC

Hello,
I just found this list, so please bear with me if my questions are basic.
I'd like to use the 440GX (or 440GP) so I got the ELDK and U-Boot 0.4. The ELDK doesn't specifically say that it supports the 440 series, do you know if anyone has been successfuly in building 440 binaries using ELDK? Also, I've never used U-Boot before, but I'm *assuming* that once I get U-Boot running on my board, I can just load up the application built with ELDK (assuming of course the it can build 440 compatible binaries) and it should work? Am I completely missing something here? Intially, I just want to get a simple "hello world" program working (ie, not attempting to boot Linux yet)
Thanks very much for your time!

Hello Srikanth,
I'd like to use the 440GX (or 440GP) so I got the ELDK and U-Boot 0.4. The ELDK doesn't specifically say that it supports the 440 series, do you know if anyone has been successfuly in building 440 binaries using ELDK?
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work - there's even one supported board using a 440 - but I haven't done it myself.
Also, I've never used U-Boot before, but I'm *assuming* that once I get U-Boot running on my board, I can just load up the application built with ELDK (assuming of course the it can build 440 compatible binaries) and it should work?
Yes.
Am I completely missing something here?
No.
Intially, I just want to get a simple "hello world" program working (ie, not attempting to boot Linux yet)
Check examples/hello_world.c which compiles into a standalone application ready to run from U-Boot.
