    Had a look at Denx, their tool chain doesnt install, freescale, dont look like they do one for this CPU. Xilinx perhaps? Does anyone know of one? Thanks in advance --edit-- The ELDK from Denx is hosed: "Error: Can't read rootfs tarball "/home/matts/elk/targets/powerpc/core-image-minimal-dev-generic-powerpc.tar.gz /home/matts/elk/targets/powerpc/core-image-minimal-generic-powerpc.tar.gz /home/matts/elk/targets/powerpc/core-image-minimal-mtdutils-generic-powerpc.tar.gz /home/matts/elk/targets/powerpc/core-image-minimal-xenomai-generic-powerpc.tar.gz" " And I am not the only one: ELDK installation problem[^] Seems 5.5.3 and higher is broken. Weird, is no one using it? Anyway, I will try 5.5.2 as this guy did. Kinda sucks though.

        Well the obvious choice then.

          Trying to build a U-boot for an MPC8313 powerpc CPU Rage. There doesnt seem to be much out there for this platform. The closest I got was Denx, but the tool chain wont install (in fact their documentation is out of synch with what is on their ftp site, and the params their install script expects), so I was just wondering if there are any others about.

              All clear, but this is only a step and not the finality, is it ? Are you running some projects in the embedded world ?
