Background:
I am trying to load a linux kernel build onto a Motorola Yellowknife
evaluation board.
So far:
I have built the toolchain and a kernel (2.4.18 w/ ppc patches) based on
the instructions in Mr. Yaghmour's book "Building Embedded Linux
Systems". So far, things have gone well.
The Yellowknife board I have is currently running the Dink32 boot
rom/monitor.
Issues:
- I tried running the kernel from the dink monitor. (I downloaded the
kernel via srecords, and basically typed 'go' at the kernel's start
address). It didn't work. So, I started tracing the code and I soon
discovered that the kernel seems to be expecting certain pieces of
information from the boot rom (sorry, I'm a newbie at kernel internals).
So, is there any way to get the kernel to boot from the dink boot rom?
- Based on the above, I was thinking of loading U-boot onto the board
(instead of dink). Has anyone gotten U-boot to support Yellowknife? I
looked at the docs for U-boot, but could find no reference to it.
- Does anyone know of any references that document how to get Linux
running on a Motorola Yellowknife board?
I also could find no useful information on either issue above via google
searches.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
