Has anybody tried to bring up U-Boot 1.1.3 together with a (Power Quicc II Pro) MPC8349E MDS Processor Board (silicon rev 1.0)? The board comes with a (probably patched) 1.1.2 version installed. I want to update it to 1.1.3 in order to be able to use a current Linux kernel (2.6.13 - U-Boot 1.1.2 seems to be incompatible due to differences in the bd_info structures, right?).

After building U-Boot and writing to the flash according to the README, the board does show no more signs of life (apart from the reset sequence leds) after hard reset.

I used crosstool 0.38 for building the tool chain with a standard ppc target (-mcpu=powerpc) and gcc 3.4.1.

Are there any board settings necessary other than those defaults in the Getting Started guide?

Thanks and regards,
Florian.

I noticed that when I moved from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3, I had to go back and add the CONFIG_CPM2 macro to the boards config file. It appears that there was patch between revisions that now requires this being set.

Other than that, it looks like it's time to pull out the BDI2000...

Indeed:
http://81.169.171.120/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=9c4c5ae3e10e4f2ca799aacbb74e1f5adb86e0b5

Which was the config file we missed to fix?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

This is very odd since the 8349 shouldn't need CONFIG_CPM2. It doesn't have a CPM on it.

Well, that makes it easy. Ignore what I said about putting it in the configuration file since it does not apply to your flavor of PPC processor.

Did you find a solution to your problem? Neil Chu just sent a patch in today that corrects values in the MPC8349 readme. Can you give a listing of the commands you used to program the new u-boot onto your board?
