ppcboot and powerpc branch question

[Pagnotta, Chris]

Wolgang,

This question does pertain to the thread in question, but..

I am currently using your ELDK 4.1 Uclibc and have written various
scripts that allow it to be used with buildroot makefiles. Are you going
to releasing a newer version anytime soon?

Thanks,
Chris P.

PPCBoot was a in a distant  past  before  U-Boot.  Actually,  PPCBoot
1.1.5 is more than 5 and a half years old. You cannot really expect a
Neanderthal man to drive a space shuttle.

No. Please use a current U-Boot (i. e. at least U-Boot 1.3.0).

Best regards,
