+IceCube is the nickname for the FreeScale MPC5200LITE evaluation board
+which seems to be the basis for boards from a number of other vendors.
+The most complete and up to date information will be found on the
+RTEMS Wiki. We know of the following boards which are the IceCube:
+
+ + FreeScale MPC5200LITE
+ + Embedded Planets EP52000 (does not ship with U-Boot)
+
+U-Boot supports this board very well. When using U-Boot the following
+command sequence is used to transform an ELF file into a U-Boot image.
+
+powerpc-rtems4.8-objcopy -R -S -O binary hello.exe hello.bin
+cat hello.bin | gzip -9 >hello.gz
+/opt/embedded/tools/usr/bin/mkimage \
+ -A ppc -O rtems -T kernel -a 0x10000 -e 0x10000 -n "RTEMS" \
+ -d hello.gz hello.img
+
+These ttcp results were between an EP5200 and Dell Insprion 9400
+running Fedora 7. A private network was used.
