Searching on Google, it looks like you have a EV64120A-7000 made by Galileo Technology, Inc.. It is a PCI card that plugs into a PC, and includes the PMON ROM monitor in flash. Galileo appears to have been sold to Marvell (www.marvell.com). I don't see support or search links on the Marvell web site. I don't see Galileo or EV64120A on their product page. I suggest you send them an e-mail asking if and what support is available. I was going to recommend the SDE-MIPS toolkit by Algorithmics, but I don't see your board in their Programmer's Guide. Try asking them if they support it: http://www.algor-uk.com/ To be blunt, trying to make an older, slower, and unsupported board work is going to be difficult. It might not be possible. If you can, get a current, complete, and well-supported MIPS development system -- board, ICE/JTAG, ROM monitor/ embedded OS, development toolchain, etc.. David Christensen dpchrist@holgerdanske.com
