Hi Kumar, I got it from Freescale's MPC8323EMDS linux BSP.

As far as I am aware this is the only source which has support for this
board.  (Hopefully they will eventually upstream their changes!)

I'll have a look at 2.6.11 and see whether it is feasable to port
the board support to it.

Thanks,

Alex
