Hi

I am working with mpc8379 processor custom board. I want to port linux kernel 3 for this board. I dont know how to start porting. Can anyone suggest me guide or tutorial for linux porting.

I maybe mistaken, but I think that processor is a powerpc , and I think someone may have already ported it. I'm a novice at embedded systems, but this looks like it may be helpful to you

They have a 3.6 source tree for powerpc , but I don't know if that will work on the board, is that a freescale board?
