Hi, Thanks Kiran for helping me out...I shall be starting with it as soon as possible. Another thing I wanted to know from you all PPC masters out there, is wether the OCDemon BDM/JTAG device supported by linux.If not... Is there a way out.Please suggest me b'cos I have this device only for any sort of BDM activity. I am using EST's(Now known as Vxworks)MPC860 board( Modular Development Platform) for porting Linux to it. Anyone who has done this before using the same board??Please guys help me out, I have not been getting the answers to my queries regarding this board.I am stuck.
