Hi Stuart,
Thanks for the information. gpp access was resolved.
I was successful in building the linux 2.6.11 using the ltib and
able to bring up the MPC8360 EMDS.
But, I still face the problem for linux kernel 2.6.19 and 2.6.20.
When I tried using ltib in the bringing up the board. The MPC 8360
board keeps rebooting after downloading the image Power PC Kernel
Image(uImage) and Power PC RAMDisk Image(rootfs.ext2.gz.uboot) build
by the "ltib" Please clarrify on the same.
I'm not a kernel expert and don't know what failure you
are seeing here, but I might observe that 2.6.19 and .20
are two years old, and 2.6.11 is more than 3 years old.
If you think we, collectively, haven't improved things in
that time period, please, complain about 2.6.11, .19, and .20.
If on the off chance you think things *might* have gotten
better due to a *bit* of development effort over the past
three years, you might try installing a modern U-Boot and
a modern Kernel.
Thanks,

I would strongly recommend switching to ELDK from denx.de and the latest
released (or tip-o-the-tree) u-boot. This will allow you to build and
boot the latest kernel with a flattened device tree (FDT).
ELDK:
<http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK>
<http://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/>
Specifically:
<http://ftp.denx.de/pub/eldk/4.2/ppc-linux-x86/iso/>
u-boot:
make MPC8360EMDS_HOST_66_config && make
linux:
Start with: arch/powerpc/configs/83xx/mpc836x_mds_defconfig
Trying to use an old u-boot and old toolset with a recent kernel isn't
worth the headaches. The ToT supports the MPC8360EMDS directly.
Best regards,
gvb
