Hello vincent

Im in the same boat as you, trying to bring up this board from the bone pile.

A few things to start: do you have UBOOT running on your board - can you talk to it at all?

Do you have a BDI2000 emulator or the WireTAP emulator?

Do you have tool chains installed, or not, or do you not know what Im talking about :)

What have you got other than the actual board?

What is your goal? Bring up linux and run user apps?

The difficulty Im running into with the board is that the tools are so old they dont run under any reasonably new Linux. The BSP from Metrowerks looks older than dirt. I presumably have a decent uboot and bsp building with gcc 3.4.4 under Ubuntu 8.10 but I havent quite got everything working yet. But soon. Let me know what you're looking for and perhaps I can provide something to get you going.
