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.
