Linux 2.6.x on MPC52xx family

For the latest info, go to https://www.246tNt.com/mpc52xx/

To compile/use :

• U-Boot:

  # <edit Makefile to set ARCH=ppc & CROSS_COMPILE=... ( also EXTRAVERSION
     if you wish to ).
  # make lite5200_defconfig
  # make uImage
  
  then, on U-boot:
  => tftpboot 200000 uImage
  => tftpboot 400000 pRamdisk
  => bootm 200000 400000
  

• DBug:

  # <edit Makefile to set ARCH=ppc & CROSS_COMPILE=... ( also EXTRAVERSION
     if you wish to ).
  # make lite5200_defconfig
  # cp your_initrd.gz arch/ppc/boot/images/ramdisk.image.gz
  # make zImage.initrd
  # make
  
  then in DBug:
  DBug> dn -i zImage.initrd.lite5200
  

Some remarks:

• The port is named mpc52xxx, and config options are PPC_MPC52xx. The MGT5100 is not supported, and I’m not sure anyone is interested in working on it so. I didn’t took 5xxx because there’s apparently a lot of 5xxx that have nothing to do with the MPC5200. I also included the ‘MPC’ for the same reason.

• Of course, I inspired myself from the 2.4 port. If you think I forgot to mention you/your company in the copyright of some code, I’ll correct it ASAP.
