I have currently running wxWorks on Mdp Pro 823 board. Now i'm trying port Linux on it. Firstable i have to get u-boot working on it. I hope someone has done this.
Probably not. At least I don't know of any port of U-boot for this board. BUT: this is off topic here. Please post U-Boot related questions on the U-Boot mailing list instead.
Is there working configuration from u-boot to this board? I have modified QS823 conf, because it looks quite similar.
Similar is not good enough.
Can I use VisionIce 2 and SingleStep to flash u-boot?
Probably, if you know how to use these tools. Sorry, I'm afraid there is little help for these on tyhe U-Boot list.
We dont't have BDI in our school, shame. I flashed u-boot by using Ice starting at 0xfff00000. It seemed that it went correct place but nothing happened when i started my board.
Is this the correct address for your board? Did you use the correct terminal baudrate?
I suppose that I can't debug it with Ice and SingleStep.
You should be able to. If not, return the tools to the vendor and get your money back.
Do i have to flash more than just u-boot.bin in right address?
No.
(Environment?)
No. If the environment is invalid (bad CRC checksum), then a compiled-in default environment will be used.
Do i need some reg files or prj files?
Dunno.
I would appreciate if someone could help me with these addresses and configs. Board specs: MPC 823 66 Mhz 4Mb flash 128 Mb RAM 512 K SRAM 8 K eeprom
Sorry, you need a lot more information about the hardware to give any usable help - and then it requires a non-negligible amount of work to come up with the right config data. Don't expect too much from a mailing list.
