[Buildroot] Buildroot for Freescale PowerPC (PowerQUICC) MPC875

[Eldor Rødseth (SystemSoft AS)]

Hi all,

We are currently running kernel version 2.6.25.16 on a Freescale
PowerPC (PowerQUICC) MPC875.
and using Redboot as the bootloader. The Toolchain is ELDK version
4.1. We are considering
upgrading to a newer kernel version, mainly due to new HW layout with
some components being
replaced/upgraded.

I have no prior experience using buildroot, but would like to give it
a try for the Kernel and rootfs image
(I think I'll keep the bootloader.....).

I would be interested in a how-to for the correct configuration of the
MPC875. I have had a go at
"make menuconfig" but I am not comfortable with which choices to make for
target arch. variant, toolchain, kernel configuration, etc.

Appreciate any help - thanks.

Regards, Eldor
