As you probably know the PPCBoot project has been  discuntinued,  and
all efforts are now put into the U-Boot successor project.

U-Boot has support for video on MPC823, for I2C, and for IDE.

Same for our kernel (module linux-2.4 in our CVS server); it includes video drivers for the MPC823, see:

	arch/ppc/8xx_io/lcdvideo.h
	arch/ppc/8xx_io/video823.c
	arch/ppc/8xx_io/video_ad7176.h
	arch/ppc/8xx_io/video_ad7177.h
	arch/ppc/8xx_io/video_ad7179.h

As you can see, the ad7176 encoder used in your project is supported,
to. And of course there are I2C and IDE drivers in this kernel, too.



Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
