Re: [U-Boot-Users] Status of OF in TQM8540 and linux-2.6.17.11

Now I try to boot a current linux kernel - the vanilla 2.6.17.11 with the default tqm8540 config but it doesn't show any sign of life

Please use the kernel from our repo instead; see http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-2.6-denx.git

I remember that there was a discussion that the ppc people planned to implement OpenFirmware for more flexible board initialization. How is the current status of OF support in U-Boot?

This has nothing to with this.

Are there any tips&tricks to consider regarding that point?

Yes, use a working kernel. Not all our patches have been accepted upstream, and we have some lag with re-submissions.
