I just received word that my board will be in my hands at tomorrow (Friday) morning. Will the 8360 rev.2 support be available?
it's already in the 'mpc83xx' branch on the opensource.freescale.com u-boot-83xx.git tree. DDR2 seems to be working fine.
I hesitated to broadcast this info since I haven't finished testing it on our boards, plus the patches haven't been posted here yet.
For future reference, the stuff considered stable on mpc83xx will be pulled into the 'upstream' branch. Once Rev.2 support tests ok, I'll ask WD to pull from the 'upstream' branch.

Thanks Kim! After a little bit of "git for dummies", I figured out how to grab the mpc83xx branch. But before your mail, I was just looking in WD's git tree for the changes--I didn't know that freescale had its own git trees for u-boot.
One question about the 8360 version. When I compile it straight up for the MPC8360EMDS_HOST_66 configuration, I never see any output at the startup of U-boot. But if I comment out the open firmware defines in the include/configs/MPC8360EMDS.h config file, then all works. Why doesn't this work for me straight up on the board it was compiled for? (This has been true for all U-boot versions I've tried for the 8360).
Thanks, Steve
