[U-Boot-Users] Testing a cross compiler for a mpc8540 cpu
by Matthew S. McClintock 05 Jan '04

Does anyone know a good way to test to see if a cross compiler is working? I have what I believe to be a cross compiler for a mpc8540 cpu. However I am not sure if its working. I can compile u-boot with the compiler but that does not tell me much since u-boot does not support the board I am using specifically. I really don't want to go forward working on getting u-boot to run on this board only to find out of compiler is broken. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks -- Matthew S.

[U-Boot-Users] CFG_CMD_.... configuration space running out!!
by Robin Gilks 05 Jan '04

Greetings The number of commands being added to U-Boot seems in danger of overflowing the selection mechanism. Are there any plans to expand the process to more than 64 bits/commands that are agregated into CONFIG_COMMANDS or should there be individual defines to turn commands on/off. The reason I ask is that I've just implemented a bash style 'test' command so I can check the values of memory locations with conditional code during boot and I note there are only 2 bits left!! Note: test syntax as per binary integer comparisons with the option of a unary indirection operator on either expression. eg. 'test *40000 -eq 12345678' checks location 40000 for the value 12345678. I've only implemented 32 bit word indirection - does anyone think it useful to provide half-word and byte as well - in which case what should the syntax look like? -- Robin Gilks Senior Design Engineer Phone: (+64)(3) 357 1569 Tait Electronics Fax : (+64)(3) 359 4632 PO Box 1645 Christchurch Email : robin.gilks(a)tait.co.nz New Zealand
