Hello,
Does anyone know where to obtain PowerPC-type development boards. Preferably at hobbyist prices. I am interested in porting Linux to it.
Thanks in advance, Norm

Not sure, but isn't Linux already ported to PowerPC?

Hi all, the Mandrake default for the dhcp timeout is VERY long. I'm trying some documentation about how to change the default. Which file is it keep in. somewhere in the init files?
Thanks for any help. Wes

i've been running linux on my PowerMac 7500 for years. As for embedded PPC or development PPC boards there are several to COTS (consumer of the shelf) to choose from. Boils down to what speed, power (electrical), and onboard options you want (i.e. sound, 4 serial ports, ethernet etc), bus type - SBC, pci, pc104, vme. check out http://www.cotsjournalonline.com bewarned - not for hobbyists prices... more like the military. Hobbyists can best look at old PowerPC computers or less powerful powerpc embedded boards from motorola/ibm. Are you looking for a PowerPC workstation or a PowerPC embedded computer? try http:\\www.linuxdevices.com good luck. Where is PPC guru huberj? -jeremy --- Norm Legare <normlegare@yahoo.com> wrote:

Well, there are a bunch of other places to look if you want to play with smaller embedded-style systems. This is a great board (from what I've heard): http://www.denx.de/embedded-ppc-en.html And man are they bad-ass looking...PPCBoot (http://ppcboot.sf.net/) runs on these boards, and Linux runs on them already, so perhaps it's not the best board for a porting experience... If you want some real fun, get some cicso router that has a powerpc -- I'm not sure of anyone who's got that working quite yet. Honestly though, porting to a new board without a hardware debugger (like the BDI2000: http://www.abatron.ch/BDI/bdihw.html) will be a lot more work. Unfortunately this will push the cost of the setup over the hobbyist level. The BDI2000 is especially nice since it has support for walking the Linux software page tables, and with the bdiGDB firmware allows remote hardware debugger with GDB from a linux client -- very nice!
