Hello -

We're using PMC's MSP8510 MIPS processor. Included in the BSP was Linux 2.6.18 and PMON2000. We have all running, except the boot from CF. I'm a bit familiar with GRUB/LILO, and I'm looking for a direct replacement, and we thought we'd be able to use either until we saw GRUB was not ported to MIPS.

However it looks lile U-Boot accomplishes both (PMON+GRUB-like functionality) since I see some indication U-Boot handles VFAT? (how about ATA CF?) (If U-Boot can read a VFAT CF, and load the linux image from there, then that negates the need for any subsequent boot loader like GRUB/LILO - right?)

Any recommendations out there? (such as "trash PMON and go with U-BOOT - it does all you want" or "look here xxx to find what you want")

Any help appreciated - thanks

Sean Parker (PS please REPLY to ALL so my CC gets in there)

God Bless Sean Parker
