getting u-boot on the mv64360
Hi all,
I have an MV64360 board (IBM dev brd), that has PIBS on it. What's the best way to use u-boot with it?
I compiled u-boot with powepc-gcc-3.3.4 (compiled via crosstool), but PIBS fails to load the binary (.bin). (In fact, PIBS doesn't recognize any of the binaries).
So what's the recommended way? Should I put u-boot on the flash, overwriting PIBS? And since I don't have a BDI cable, how can I put u-boot on the board?
Too many questions, would be glad if anyone answered them.
Thanks,
Amit.

Erase PIBS and install U-Boot instead ;-)

Then find out what PIBS expects.

Get a BDI2000; the box also includes the required cable.

They say, well, meybe it _is_ smelly, maybe it _is_ overcrowded, may-
be it _is_ a bit like Hell would be if they shut the fires off and
stabled a herd of incontinent cows there for a year, but you must
admit that it is full of sheer, vibrant, dynamic _life_.

heh, I would, if I had an exit-route in case u-boot didn't work for some reason (linker script fsck-up, etc.)

Yes, but even putting the modified PIBS on the board is scary... w/o a BDI. The docs say it supports .bin files, but the sources don't. It says it supports ELF, but hangs on some relocation. No idea where it dies.. it just stalls.

Yup; I hope the "higher levels" clear it soon enough ;-)
