Dear "Canchivaram, Srivatsan",

Thanks for the response. I was able to use the 'eeprom' command to read from the I2C device and copy to memory. With the itest.b command, the comparison always resulted in false even when the condition itself was true i.e.
mw.b 0x200000 1 if itest.b *0x200000 -eq 1 This would result as false.
Through debug of the itest code, I found out the reason to be endianness. My target is the PowerPC. Therefore, the itest.b's read of address *200000 always returned Byte 3 instead of Byte 0.
Argh...
I am able to workaround this issue by forcing the itest function to read the correct byte. Do you know if there is any patch available for Big Endian in any of the recent versions? Or is this something that needs to be added to the source code? I am using version 1.3.3.
This is a bug still present in current code. evalexp() in "common/cmd_itest.c" does not pay atention to any ".b" or ".w" modifiers.
This needs to be fixed. Patches are welcome!
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
