Uboot User support,

Thisis a public maling list, and not a support hotline :-(

 I am developing a single board computer that utilizes 

the PowerPC 405EP processor. As such, we will naturally need to install a loader on our board to load our application from Flash on power-up.

I think you have to realize that your own custom hardware may be using the same processor as the corresponding AMCC eval board, but yet you still need a specific port of U-Boot (and Linux) to your hardware. You must not expect that the code that is configured for the AMCC eval board and running fine there would work on your custom board - usually this will be NOT the case.

 We are very interested in soliciting for-hire 

contract support to:

I don't want to talk myself out of business, but the following are non-issues:

 1. Bundle the u-boot loader source code that can 

generate a U-Boot image that can be installed and run on the AMCC405EP Evaluation board.

This is available out of the box with the standard U-Boot source tree. No work is necessary. Ready to run inary images for all AMCC eval boards can be found on our FTP server, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/images/amcc/

 2. Write a simple "Hello World" application that can 

be loaded on the eval board on power-up.

This is available out of the box with the standard U-Boot source tree. No work is necessary.

 3. Write a 1-2 page document that summarizes exactly 

how to build the U-Boot image and "Hellow World" application for the 405EP and install it on the 405EP eval board.

Not actually a 2 page document (but 176 pages as per now): Board- specific documentation for all AMCC eval boards can be found at http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/BoardSelect

All you ask for is ready and available for free. Just use it...
