P4080 DS - PB board bring-up

[powernova]

Hi Folks,

I have got a P4080 DS - PB board.  How do I bring-up this board?  Any pointers?

Thanks.

You should have LTIB supplied by the manufacturer for this board which will have its BSP for Linux kernel, using that you can build your kernel image, root fileystem and bootloader for this board.

Unfortunately the board doesn't come with a CD/DVD that has LTIB (the packing just contained HW Documentation CD).  BSP has to be downloaded separately

I am able to boot the dev board just by powering on.  For the toolchain I guess need to wait for the BSP media.

Thanks

Thanks.  I am able to download and install the system builder on development host. 

I have done till "bitbake devel-image" to get the cross-compilation tools.  Now, I can see that gcc compiler present in directory "freescale-2011.03/powerpc-linux-gnu/bin/gcc".

But while compiling a simple test program this error is seen -

gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory

How do I use the powerpc compiler?  Is there anything to be done as environment setting.

Thanks.
