I have an MV64360 board (IBM dev brd), that has PIBS on it. What's the best way to use u-boot with it?
Erase PIBS and install U-Boot instead ;-)
heh, I would, if I had an exit-route in case u-boot didn't work for some reason (linker script fsck-up, etc.)
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).
Then find out what PIBS expects.
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.
So what's the recommended way? Should I put u-boot on the flash, overwriting
Yes.
PIBS? And since I don't have a BDI cable, how can I put u-boot on the board?
Get a BDI2000; the box also includes the required cable.
Yup; I hope the "higher levels" clear it soon enough ;-)
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
Thanks, Amit.
