Hi,
I am developing a bootloader for Power PC.

2. The bootstrap runs from the flash, copies the bootlaoder to the RAM and
runs the bootloader from the RAM.
3. The bootloader needs to uncompress the Main Image in the flash ...Creating a stack in PPC860 bootloader

The Atmel Demo board just has a DIP switch to ground to force PSEN=0; it

Nothing. The device boots an image that contains a cramfs with a linux

checks the image=B4s integrity before booting the kernel in it. There
may be ways of tempering with the image by somehow extracting the
