Using the
MPC8568E-MDS-PB BSP
This chapter explains how to install the Linux® Target Image Builder (LTIB) tools
framework and the MPC8568E-MDS-PB Linux board support package (BSP).
Use LTIB in conjunction with the board support package to create custom Linux images
for your MPC8568E-MDS-PB processor board. You can write these images to the flash
memory of the processor board using the CodeWarrior flash programmer and the
USB TAP probe.
