MPC880 and ELDK
Thanks for the information. Actually wanted to validate my assumptions and to make it doubly sure that i can look for support from the list.
Thanks

Does ELDK support MPC880 arch? (linux distro in it)
The MPC880 is just another member of the MPC8xx family. It is supported by the ppc_8xx packages in the ELDK.

If yes , can i have some details on that?

If ELDK doesnt is there any other distro i can go for..?
I think your question is wrong. You don't need a new or special Linux distribution for each new processor. What you need is processor and board support in U-Boot and the Linux kernel - but this is obviously board dependent.

Since Uboot supports MPC885 i presume it has to support MPC880, coz except for the extra security module and the SCC they dont differ a lot.
Tey are just like all the other 8xx processors.
Best regards,
