MPC880 and ELDK
Hi ,
I need some details , if I have to work on MPC880 and linux. There are some questions to get clarified.
Does ELDK support MPC880 arch? (linux distro in it)
If yes , can i have some details on that?
If ELDK doesnt is there any other distro i can go for..?
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.
Thanks in advance

The MPC880 is just another member of the MPC8xx family. It is supported by the ppc_8xx packages in the ELDK.

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.

Tey are just like all the other 8xx processors.

Hi Wolfgang,
I'm trying to build Qtopia-free 1.7 using ELDK 3.0 and I noticed it does not contain a jpeg library which is required by Qtopia/QPE. Do you know anyone who've already built that for the ELDK? Otherwise I'll have to build it myself.

Try it out; it should be pretty straightforward.

Is there an idiot's guide to run the configure script to generate a makefile that uses a cross-compiler instead of the native gcc. I like to build it from my ix86 box. I'm getting a headache from googling...
