I think one advantage of using a mac with linuxppc as host (I use that @ home)
is that you can use newer compiler/library versions a little bit more
easy. I wasn't able yet to cross compile gcc-3.x for ppc on Solaris host,
it worked however on the mac.

Hi guys,
I'm currently working on a IBM ppc405 core based STBx25 board, and I'm
trying to hack its UARTs.
For those of you who are not familiar with these boards, the UARTs are
almost standard ones. Their only difference with the typical 16550 ones
is that they use 2 divisors instead of just
You are copying flash over top of your interrupt vectors, overwriting
active code and crashing your system. Don't do that. Getting a load into
the bottom of RAM (e.g. loading linux) is a delicate dance that u-boot does
well, so use that function. You are not going to be able to do it with the
Does Linux have support for the MPC8265 PCI Bridge? If so, how is it
configured?
What does the bootloader have to do? I am using U-Boot.
Thanks,

Building kernels
Dear friends,
We are finalizing our project on a custom 8260 board and as suggested in
many Linux HOWTO we are trying to move from NFS to ram filesystem.
Actually we have burned the flash with both kernel and ramdisk images and
modified the initial bootargs variable to indicate where to find the

How can I boot the board by using PPCboot, mount initially the NFS

A $600 Dell 1.8GHz builds the 2_4_devel 440 kernel in 2m 45s. That's just
great for our users. The x86's are getting cheaper and faster, too.
However, we do use the native builds for some whacky packages (like X) that
are never going to cross-build properly.

Ah, if that's the case, another data point. The 2.8 GHz dual P4, with

with a cold buffer cache.
