Thanks, Gary

I was refering to the 404-not-found URLs:
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/boards/redbootbins/csb281/
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/boards/redbootbins/mpc8260vads/

which appear in the RedBoot binaries and support files list -

This is really a question best for ecos-discuss :-)

What pointers don't work for you?  The ports for both of
those boards is in the current CVS tree - all you have to
do is download and build.

RedBoot support for Power PC

[Tsvika Hirst]

Dear Sirs,

I have been looking for a RedBoot version for the Motorola Power PC
processors MPC8245, MPC8260.

The evaluation boards of Cognet (CSB281) and Motorola (MPC8260VADS) which
use them, are reported in the RedBoot hardware support page
 http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/hardware.html#PowerPC ), but they do not
seem to point to valid download pages.

Does e-cos/RedBoot actually support MPC8245 and MPC8260?

Sincerely,
