A board support package (BSP) is pre-installed on the MPC8349E-mITX-GP. This BSP consists of a
bootloader (u-boot), a generic PPC Linux-based system, and associated file system which reside in the
on-board Flash memory. Upon power up, the Linux system is running on the MPC8349E-mITX-GP.
The MPC8349E-mITX-GP BSP generation takes advantage of a tool called the Linux Target Image
Builder or LTIB. LTIB is a suite of tools that leverages existing Open Source configuration scripts and
source code packages and bundles them all into a single BSP generation bundle. The source code packages
include boot loaders and Linux kernel sources as well as many user-space source code packages to build
a complete BSP. LTIB also provides compiler packages required to build the BSP. Freescale developers
use LTIB to create BSPs for a multitude of Freescale development targets. LTIB leverages as much BSP
elements as possible for all Freescale targets that are supported while offering the flexibility required to
customize, as necessary, components that require platform specific modifications.
The MPC8349E-mITX-GP BSP release package contains the following:

This file is an ISO image that may be burned to a CD-ROM or mounted directly from your hard
disk. Note that <yyyymmdd> is the release creation date.
The LTIB installation script that installs all necessary packages on a host Linux PC and allows you
to modify the BSP and packages within the BSP is in /ltib-mpc8349e-mitx subdirectory within the
ISO image.
This ISO image contains a file called Readme.txt which describes all the details required to
generate and install the BSP on the MPC8349E-mITX-GP hardware platform. Readme.txt contains
the latest information for each BSP release. The ISO image also contains Release Notes.txt which
describes changes to the current BSP version versus earlier releases.
To rebuild the BSP package or to add application software, follow the instructions in the
Readme.txt very carefully. Readme.txt is part of the ISO release and it contains specific details on
how to build, run, and install the BSP. When followed closely the Readme.txt will guide the user
to achieve a successful re-installation of the BSP on the MPC8349E-mITX-GP platform.
