I want to load my kernel image into this board. To download kernel image, The flash utility given by company needs S-Record format. Actually, I do know about S-Record Format, But I don't know how to make it. I used Montavista-2.2.13 kernel and patched it. To build the kernel, I typed "make zImage" and I got two files named "./vmlinux" and "./arch/ppc/mbxboot/zImage" in the kernel directory.
After that,
#>powerpc-linux-objcopy -O srec vmlinux vmlinux.srec
vmlinux.srec is created, "S-Record format"
To download via ethernet, I installed tftpserver on my PC, and working good.

Could you tell me about how to download the kernel and root file system onto my board. Maybe, Something wrong in my procedure.
I already read the instruction at ftp://ftp.ppc.kernel.org/pub/linuxppc/embedded/getting_started.rpx
But I couldn't.
I really thank you, in advance.
