Linux on PowerQUICC 8349E

[Awad, Sinan (GE Healthcare)]

Hello all
 
I'm new to this list, so please be gentle ;)
I've been working on vxWorks (5-6) for a few years on powerquicc CPUs.
 
I wanted to check the option of moving to linux, I have a windriver
sbc8349 evb, which I would like to boot linux on.
- I downloaded crosstool, and am building the ppc603 toolchain (is that
OK ? or is there some better toolchain ?)
- Where do I go now ? I downloaded the latest kernel from kernel.orgmn
and...
 
I am quite ok on linux, yet never cross-compiled or brought-up a board
based on some flavor of linux..
 
I have searched the web for information, but the sources of knowledge
are quite sparse and not helpfull..
 
Can someone please point me to a starting point, so that I can at least
flash a bootloader to the board, with some sort of BSP, so that I can
see at least some linux prompt on the serial port ? ;)
 
Thanks in advance.
Sinan..
