DiskOnChip booting for PPC
Hi!
I have a question about booting. Now I am using a FADS with powerpc 860T and I use PPCBOOT to boot and everything is ok, but our proprietary board will use DiskOnChip Millenium Plus and we will use the boot block inside it.
Has anyone tried to boot fro DiskOnChip Millenium Plus in PPC architecture? Can I find the IPL code somewhere? And, (sorry but I am very confused, I am not familiar with DOC), can I use LILO to boot linux or isn't possible for powerpc architecture?
I know the MTD driver doesn't support DiskOnChip Millenium Plus now, but is it possible it will support it in a short time?
Any suggestion/experience is welcome.
Thanks,
Stefania

Booting PPC from a DiskOnChip Millennium ought to be doable. However we have no information about the Millennium Plus, and hence no chance of writing drivers for it. Avoid the Millennium Plus at all costs, if you intend to use Linux.
Did anyone test the patches for UnitSizeFactor != 1 yet?
