Embedded PPC (8xx/82xx) Linux kernel development: How it is done?

Hi there,

Welcome to the team! I'll answer the bits I know about ...

Generally, Dan solves the problem before the rest of us get around to asking
about it. :-). Seriously though, there are lots of other contributing. I found
almost everything I hoped to contribute so far was already done, so I wrote a
HOWTO instead.

No, Yes, You just did, and Maybe.

Start by searching the mailing list archives at:
    http://lists.linuxppc.org/lists/linuxppc-embedded

Then, ask on the list if anyone else has already done it, or is interested in
doing it, and see what response you get. If it hasn't been done yet, try all
the links in the HOWTO to see if it's been ported to a similar board.

Graham
