Hello all, I am going to try to port/run Linux on to one of our custom boards here at work, based on the EST MPC823 (ICM823A is the label on the EST board) reference design (quite an old one). I cannot find a reference to this board in the standard U-Boot list of board, does anyone have any information/thoughts on the way to approach this. Is there a board that is similar that I can base things on for example? I would add that our company is new to Linux, having just chosen it as our new O/S for a new range of devices - so please forgive any blatant mistakes.
This project is a precursor to building new product based on the PXA270, but the custom H/W for that is months and months away, so it seem prudent to get some practice on the older boards using the MPC823 - the custom hardware side is very similar and it gives us some practice at running Linux on custom hardware - the application code we write should port to the newer hardware when it is ready, and some of the device driver knowledge gained will also be useful. If anything thinks this is a bonkers idea, please let me now!!
