Sandpoint X3 with MPC755

[Dan Douglass]

Mark,

Thanks, I do not have the kernel source from the development tree. I will download it. However, it appears that the Sandpoint boards supported in U-Boot are for the 8240 and the 8245. I guess that is where my work will begin.

Thanks again,
Dan

Dan,

You must not be looking in the right place (for kernel support).
Sandpoint X3 support is in the linuxppc_2_4_devel tree.  You can clone
the bk repository at bk://ppc.bkbits.net/linuxppc_2_4_devel.

As far as U-Boot, I don't use it but I thought it ran on the sandpoint
(at least, I think PPCBoot used to).  DINK comes on the sandpoint & the
zImage.sandpoint produced when you build the kernel (make zImage) will
run on recent versions of that firmware.

If you need more help getting the source, try looking at
http://penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml  Note that there are currently a
few problems with IDE in that tree right now.

If you're looking for a truly supported version, go to
http://www.mvista.com and/or [I believe] http://www.denx.de.  There are
probably others as well.

Mark
