Hi,

I am new to Linux uboot.  I have also purchased a MPC8360E-RDK.  There is no
uboot source code on the CodeWarrior CD either.  The LTIB
(ltib-mpc8360-com-express-20080709) I downloaded from www.logicpd.com does
not have source code for uboot either.  It comes with a uboot image though. 
I can build kernel image (uImage) and jfss2 file system.  I will very
appreciate if you  can show me where to get the uboot source code and how to
build it for my MPC8360E-RDK board.

Thank you very much!
