Not that I know of.
The problem is you are going to get different answers depending
on who you ask.

Of course I am going to say use the latest test dist (20080612) here:
http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/dist :-)

But of the hundreds of targets in that source package I only
have a couple of dozen. So I can't say it will work the way you
want on a M5329EVB - I don't have one of those.

Regards
Greg
