Hello,
I am newbie to u-boot and linux. I am working on a board that uses MPC8540 and my host environment is Red Hat 9.0. I have a u-boot (ver 1.0.1) that works fine on my board. However, this u-boot was built using the toolchain provided by Metroworks(gcc version 2.95.3) and this toolchain is not under GPL!
Hmmm... I'll bet it is, actually.
My question is can someone point me to a GPL toolchain that I can use to build the u-boot for MPC8540?
I currently use this for most of my development:
gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030217 (Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 3.2.2-2a)
I have heard a rumor of the current code not compiling with GCC 2.95, but have not yet had a chance to verify it. I believe it was a reported problem with an assembler interpretation of a C macro for the TLB_MAS() handling. If you are seeing that, just re-join the split lines into one much larger TLB_MAS3() line and see if that helps.
You should plan on uprev'ing to a modern GCC, of course.
Unfortunately, I don't have a BDI debugger to be able to see how far the u-boot runs before it hangs!
You might consider getting one.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Reza.
