PPC Boards?

[Grant Erickson]

James,

It really depends on what kind of target applications you are looking 
for. It seems to me that the 6xx, 7xx, and 8xx boards have gotten a 
healthy amount of and successful use from a large number of users on the 
list. I'll let others with more exposure to them comment on those.

For embedded type applications, I've been using IBMs "Oak" 403GCX and 
semi-functional "Walnut" 405GP boards for porting Linux to the PowerPC 
4xx processors. Both seem like pretty competent evaluation board designs 
and if you elect to purchase IBM's RISCWatch JTAG debugger for either, 
it's a pretty nice, well-developed, and easy-to-use debug tool.

Regards,

Grant Erickson
