Re: 8260 configuration

Dear Bo,

in message [ref] you wrote:

I had boot code ( with vxWorks and it is based on EST8260 bsp) in my custom
board
already. I decide to download the linux object via tftp. But I have the
following
questions:

1. Do I have to configure IMMR as 0xF0000_0000 or higher. The default
configuration
    in our boot is 0x0F00_0000 ? Is this a hard requirement or not ? If so,

Yes, this is a hard requirement.  See  the  Embedded  PowerPC  HOWTO,
especially the part about the memory map.

why can't linux
    init code do so by writing to IMMR+0x101a8 ?

Linux relies on certain initialization beind done by the firmware.

2. How to specify the start address where linux runs when I build the zImage
?

The start address of the Linux kernel on PowerPC is fix - it's 0x0000.

3. When I make xconfig, what configuration I must have in order to run ? I
certainly
   do not need VGA/HARD DISK/PCI (this board does not have pci devices).

There is a default configuration that should you  get  started.  Just
type:

	$ make est8260_config
	$ make oldconfig

4. Is there any good website/paper/documentation about linux for 8260
platform.

Not that I know.

You may have a look a http://www.denx.de/re/DPLG.html though. Most of
the things are not CPU specific.

5. Can anyone access ftp.leo.org to get ELDK ? I can ping it but I cannot
ftp it today.

Works for me.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
