Hey, there. I am working with the MPC5200 Lite, and thanks to the suggestions of using ELDK, I successufully (I think) compiled a boot image for the 5200 under RH9_i386. I used the patch for lowboot (although, because patch on RH9 didn't seem to like the diff file regardless of "-p" levels, I had to apply it with VIm). I move the jumper over, hit the reset button, and I get this on minicom: =============================== U-Boot 1.0.1 (Nov 24 2003 - 17:10:38)
CPU: MPC5200 (JTAG ID 0001101d) at 399.999 MHz Bus 133 MHz, IPB 66 MHz, PCI 33 MHz Board: Motorola MPC5200 (IceCube) I2C: 86 kHz, ready DRAM: 64 MB FLASH: 16 MB PCI: Bus Dev VenId DevId Class Int 00 1a 1057 5803 0680 00 In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: FEC ETHERNET
Type "run flash_nfs" to mount root filesystem over NFS
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 ## Booting image at 00100000 ... Bad Magic Number => ============================= The countdown starts at 5, but it doesn't seem to be recognizing keystrokes before it plunges into the void of random memory.
The BAUD settings appear to be the same as I've been successfully using with the Motorola dMon (115200), and it seems to be writing to minicom quite legibly, but it doesn't seem to be reading the serial port. Any suggestions where I could look to see why? The ethernet is at its default of bootp, but I didn't think that shold make any difference to the serial terminal. I'm also curious about it booting the image at 0x100000 (doesn't exist, obviously), but I expect I'll figure that out once I see how to set up initrd (or whatever ramdisk is needed).
Thanks, Victor Wren
