[Ltib] 2.6.24 for mpc8458amc

[maxime louvel]

Hi,

I am trying to make a 2.6.24 vanilla kernel boot (an work fine in a second time) on a mpc8548amc board.
I have got the last LTIB version from the public svn and add the platform specific stuff from the sources of the current kernel running on the cards.



What I have basically add is:
- a folder mpc8548amc, in the config/platform directory, which allow to select the mpc8548amc as the supported platform in the first screen of the LTIB installation
- add the following files:



  - arch/ppc/configs/mpc8548amc_defconfig
  - arch/ppc/configs/platforms/85xx/mpc_8548_amc.h and .c
- I have used the dts of an another platform (mpc8548cds) which seems quite the same, but I haven't got any confirmation of that yet.



When I am booting the kernel image built by LTIB here is what I get:

AMC=> dhcp 0x1000000 uImage.amc.2.6.24
Speed: 1000, full duplex
BOOTP broadcast 1
