Actually this is bad  advice.  The  *ADS  boards  have  some  special
features  which  you  will  not  find  on  any other board. Also, the
implementation of the MPC8260ADS has some serious problems which have
not been fixed for ages because the board is one of the many orphaned
(i. e. not maintained) boards.

Do NOT use the MPC8260ADS as an example.

But they are not exactly trivial either.  Especially  when  you  have
things like CF and PCMCIA on them.
