Hi Wolfgang and Avner (and the Freescale developers),
I need bdi3000 reg file and u-boot configuration file for MPB8308RDB Where can I find those fies?
The register files provided with the Abatron firmware are generic enough. We used the reg8313e.def with the MPC7308RDB.
As for the config file, see the attachment.
I've just purchased a couple of these boards, so thanks for the configuration file Wolfgang.
I'm planning on using this processor as a PCIe end-point in a CompactPCI Serial (CPCI-S.0) board.
I used the MPC8349EA on the CompactPCI incarnation of this type of hardware (based on Wolfgang's recommendation of the part):

Ira Snyder worked on the U-Boot and PowerPC code, and he's pushed all the work we've done into the mainline U-Boot and Linux trees, i.e., we give back to the community :)
The MPC8308 processor will essentially act as a PCI Express bridge to some data processing FPGAs.
Grazing through the MPC8308 errata, there don't appear to be any major 'gotchas' with this part. The local bus is not multiplexed, so I'll need some minor changes to my UPM bridge logic, but other than that it looks very similar to the MPC8349EA.
Has anyone had any bad experiences with this part, or is there some 'feature' of the part I should be aware of?
Just looking for comments/feedback.
Thanks!
Cheers, Dave
