RE: linuxppc_2_4_mpc5200 / 5200lite zImage now working

Kate,

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the MPC5200Lite card.
Would it be possible for you to explain the steps you took to replace
dbug with u-boot. Did you use dbug or a bdm?
I am about to do the same thing, and fear that I might end up with a
"dead" card if
things go wrong : )

Kind regards,

Tord Andersson

No. It's much more likely that you missed to pass  someother  of  the
required  information.  You  have  several options: manually set up a
bd_info structure with _all_ of the required  information;  modifying
U-Boot  so  that  you  can load and start U-Boot from RAM; installing
U-Boot into flash.

This worked with u-boot, setting CFG_RAMBOOT made it bootting from RAM
and allowed also programming u-boot to same flash as dbug so now i can
start uboot from dbug and then boot linux up

You can always get a tested and working configuration  by  performing
the standard kernel build procedure:

bash$ make mrproper
bash$ make icecube_5200_config
bash$ make oldconfig
bash$ make dep
bash$ make uImage

Tanks, that was also usefull

Kate
