Hi Peter,
thanks. Is U-boot an open source? When porting, what are the things that I need to know. I can't see detailed tutorials on the internet.
Hope for your support!
Won

It's going to take a lot of work
- CPU support for the embedded 405 ppc core. This isn't in FreeBSD yet.
- drivers for the on-chip peripherals

Looks like u-boot supports the ml403, and with u-boot now supporting
FreeBSD, that should be the place to start.
later,
Peter.
