So I hope I can find something detailed about the installation guide ;) This device is designed by my friends and me. Now its only on planning stage. We would use FreeScale MPC8533E or some similiar chipset as its processor. I havnt chose a bootloader yet. Could you recommand me some bootloaders? There is no experience for me to run FreeBSD on embedded systems. I have only run Linux on it with some bootloaders such as vivi and redboot and I also have some experience running FreeBSD on x86 systems. :( ------------------ Bear 2010-09-16 ------------------------------------------------------------- From:Rafal Jaworowski Send Date:2010-09-15 23:06:43 To:Bear CC:Zied Fakhfakh; freebsd-ppc Subject:Re: Can FreeBSD run on FreeScale MPC8533E PowerQUICC III Processor?

There are some old (partial) installation notes at http://wiki.freebsd.org/Eval8540Boot, but they would miss on important details which come into play after around r210053 (switch to FDT convention). We really need to update these guidelines :-) Is your device a custom design or something commonly available? What is the firmware / 1st stage bootloader?
