Actually, MCC does NOT have a port of U-boot to the Motorola 5500 board as 
we used the onboard MOTload software instead. Since MOTLoad worked just 
fine for us (once we figured it out) we didn't do the U-Boot port.

Sorry.

Well, everything that we list on our Web site is freely available. You just 
have to do the same amount of hunting (and integration!) that MCC did.

I'm not fond of black-listing myself. Isn't that what big companies do??
