There is currently no support in eCos (RedBoot) for the PPC 440GP. The basic framework for the 4xx family of processors is in place, but a lot of work would be needed to complete this. You could develop this, implementing the HAL for the 440GP and providing platform support. If you want to do this yourself, considerable information is available at: http://sources.redhat.com/fom-serv/ecos/cache/6.html Alternately, eCosCentric [and others] are available for such tasks, providing commercial support for eCos/RedBoot. Please contact us directly if you'd like to pursue this possibility. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | eCosCentric, Ltd. | +1 (970) 229-1963 | eCos & RedBoot experts gthomas@ecoscentric.com | http://www.ecoscentric.com/ | ------------------------------------------------------------
