Hi all,
yes, we got this board to work. But in order to help you we would need to know exactly what happened in your case. What do you mean by "It doesn' work?"
First you should know is that you should care about the jumper setting as Rune explained in one of his latest e-mails (see archive) Second: we had a problem with the SDRAM setting. Either diabling the PBI or fixing line the sdam setting of the SDRAM helped. Third: please always work with the newest u-boot from the CVS for such experiments.

I am a newbie to u-boot and I am trying to get u-boot0.4.0 todownload to the flash on an MPC8266ADS-PCI development board. I managed to get u-boot0.2 on the flash and working as it should but unfortunately it needed fixed for the PCI features of the 8266. I have tried 0.3 and 0.4 but cannot get it to work. Both myself and some guys at Motorola have been trying for 4-6 weeks now to get u-boot & PCI up and running. Has anyone managed to get u-boot to work on this platform with PCI support enabled? If so, I would be greatful if could you mail the .srec to cd7@hw.ac.uk First of all I am using ELDK to cross compile the u-boot source which seems to work fine. The problem is that it doesn't seem to like the Flash very much. I am using the Sharp type flash. I have tried the both the default configurations, with no success and also modified the following settings, also without much success.
1.) Within {u-boot}/include/configs/MPC8266ADS.h there are two choices for CFG_HRCW_MASTER depending on which JP setting you want to use - does anyone know which one is best to choose here?
2.) Also the settings for the CFG_FLASH_BASE default to 0xFE000000. From the MPC8266 user manual I noticed that the memory location this relates to is for a 32M SIMM whereas I have 8M which starts at FF800000. I changed this to mirror the user manual and update also the CFG_BR0_PRELIM accordingly (0xFF801801).
3.) I have also played around with the {u-boot_dir}/board/mpc8266ads/config.mk file to no avail.
If someone out there has managed to get this working it would be great if you could either explain everything I need to do to get it blown to the flash on this type of board. Like I say I am a newbie to this and probably need to plead ignorance, or b) have a working copy for an MPC8266ADS-PCI that you could send to me as I can't proceed past this point.
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks Ciaran Doyle
