I am writing a standalone application and my initial development must use these boards, unfortunately I can't use an OS to set PCI up properly.
...then you really must understand the Tval min issue as described by Mark Jonas/freescale:
Please note that this problem needs two partners to be seen. On the one hand, MPC5200 violates Tvalmin by having this about 1ns instead of at least 2 ns according to spec. On the other hand, a PCI card needs to be able to handle a Tvalmin of down to 0 ns when somebody reads from it. So if both sides behave badly the card is not recognized during Type-0 configuration.
I understand from our friends at freescale that the PCI timing issue is resolved in the next rev of the chip.
