Basic answers: U-Boot is the successor to PPCBoot. Both are hosted on SourceForge. You should switch to U-Boot, PPCBoot became U-Boot and is no longer actively maintained. http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot/ Wolfgang Denk has very good linux support that will help _you_ to port linux to your board. See his Embedded Linux Development Kit (ELDK). http://www.denx.de/ http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual If you don't feel up to the job, there are several companies and probably more than a few freelance engineers willing to do it for a fee. In terms of companies, Denx and MontaVista are the ones most visible in the U-Boot arena. gvb ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
