First of all: Check the revision of the board and the cpu. If you have a 860, find a cpu with revision C or later. If you have a ADS with rev. ENG, PILOT or A you will have some trouble. I have had linux up and running on a ADS board. A good starting point is to read the manual and check what differs from the FADS. I have bootcode that is based on fadsrom by Dan Malek. It is kind of a mess right now, but it should support both the ADS and the FADS board using 860(t). It loads a zImage or vmlinux from a ATA-FLASH or the onboard flash-simm. It understands ext2 and dos. No network support, though. I can mail the source to anyone who is interested. You will need a linux source tree and a (cross)compiler. But I have no time for answers.
