We have designed MPC8548 based AMC card. We are using u-boot-1.2.0 and it was up. Now we plan to boot the uboot in the EEPROM without using FLASH. Is it possible to boot the uboot in the EEPROM ?. We are using AT24C64C EEPROM(64KB) and it was configured as Extended I2C addressing mode.
Its not quite clear from your comment above; * you've designed an 8548-based board * you've managed to boot it from Flash * now you want to boot from EEPROM
Re-read your data sheet; it is a 64k*bits* EEPROM, or an 8KB memory. You're not going to fit much code in that.
If the 8548 is like the 8349, the purpose of the EEPROM is as a boot-sequencer, i.e., it can be used to program registers in the processor memory map.
If you don't want to have Flash on the card, and the card is a peripheral (which an AMC card is), then you can probably have the processor boot with the core disabled, and use something like the PCI/PCIe interface to boot the processor. You'd have to re-read the manual; the 8349 can boot with the e300 core disabled, have a host copy memory into DDR RAM, and then enable the core to boot from this data.
