Porting kernel to MPC 74X7
HI guys!
I have to port a linux kernel on Motorola MPC 74X7 based board. Since am pretty new to this tech, I would be grateful if anyone could help with directing to information source or guide me in selecting a proper kernel and the respective BSP.
Thanks...

I have to port a linux kernel to Motorola MPC 7447 based WindRiver SBC 7447 board.
The MPC7447 is one of the G4+ PowerPC processor series. You shouldn't run into much issues to get Linux running on it.
A good start can be to use the latest ELDK from http://www.denx.de.
I created a native PowerPC environment for embedded use based on the latest CRUX linux distribution (http://cruxppc.sunsite.dk).
CRUX is also available for x86 (http://crux.nu) which is nice to work completely platform independent.

I plan to use Kernel 2.6.11 and Uboot for the same.
It doesn't make sense to use an older than the latest Kernel because nobody wants to help you in case you run into problems. Use the latest linux git tree. (or at least some 2.6.22) And use the latest U-Boot git tree. (also from denx)

I wanted to know whether
these two can be used for the board. Also how do I get hold of a BSP for this board and kernel? Are there any information resources for the same?
It's all available in the web. It depends on your hardware setup how complicated your "porting" might be. I hope you good good documentation for it.
If you have a Harddisk to boot from or some network interface, "porting" it might be as simple as installing some x86 platform.
