Hi,

How would I access a NTFS shared directory from a Freescale MPC8313?

Will Samba run on a Freescale MPC8313?

It should (and if it doesn't, file a bug with them).

Userspace is pretty much the same at the source-code and user-interface level -- the answer to "how do I do X on this PPC board" is generally the same as the answer to "how do I do X on Linux", other than that you may need to compile some packages manually if they don't come with whatever distribution you're using.

Thanks Scott.

I did some more reading on the board and it appears that it's not as limited as I thought. The "custom" Linux we're running is very limited (so it appears) and I interpreted the board to be so as well.

To build your own fully-open Linux for this board, I can recommend both these projects:

LTIB (http://www.bitshrine.org/)
OpenEmbedded (http://www.openembedded.org/)

We use the latter in an industrial setting with much success,
