hi! i'd like to start linux on a dsp-board (where no linux has gone before :)))
it's a dsp-board with some dsp on board an a motorola 860 processor. the board itself has 32mb sdram and 8 mb flash. the board has a bootloader integrated, which configures the mpcs and start a simple "boot-aplication". normal vxworks is used, but it's time to start something useful now :))) i'd like this bootapplication to start linux, but how can i do this. the bootloader itself should stay, because it does the initialization. i didn't find anything like ROLO (a rom-bootloader for linux, but only for x86). ppcboot is a total overkill, because the board is complete initalized, i only need something to start the kernel (no config, no transfer of images, no..., only kick the kernel, which lies mapped in memory from the flash). the other problem is, which setting for the "board type" in the linux-kernel itself should (kernel from ELDK at www.denx.de) be used? hope you can give me some tips, i'd like to show my boss, that linux runs everywhere! greetings, guenther sommer. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
