IceCube

IceCube is the nickname for the FreeScale MPC5200LITE evaluation board which seems to be the basis for boards from a number of other vendors. The most complete and up to date information will be found on the RTEMS Wiki. We know of the following boards which are the IceCube:

FreeScale MPC5200LITE
Embedded Planets EP52000 (does not ship with U-Boot)

U-Boot supports this board very well. When using U-Boot the following command sequence is used to transform an ELF file into a U-Boot image.

powerpc-rtems4.8-objcopy -R -S -O binary hello.exe hello.bin cat hello.bin | gzip -9 >hello.gz /opt/embedded/tools/usr/bin/mkimage \ -A ppc -O rtems -T kernel -a 0x10000 -e 0x10000 -n "RTEMS" \ -d hello.gz hello.img

These ttcp results were between an EP5200 and Dell Insprion 9400 running Fedora 7. A private network was used.
