Hi all,
My goal is to (simply) build u-boot to run on my target processor which is MPC8349. My host environment where I will be building the u-boot is a SUSE linux system running on an intel x86 PC (therefore I will cross compile). I have followed the instructions on the wiki and README file, and created a u-boot.bin file. I after I load the u-boot.bin (with a BDI2000 debugger) and reset the device, it produces random (garbage) text through the serial port. It normally should produce a welcome message, etc..
Here are my steps:
I have downloaded the latest u-boot version and unpacked it: v2011.12-rc2
Make distclean Make MPC8349EMDS_config CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux- Export CROSSCOMPILE Make all
(note that I derived the above commands from the README file in the u-boot directory (see sections at Line 274, line 3350)
I believe my configuration of the BDI2000 debugger is correct as I've successfully loaded my older version of u-boot.bin (created by someone before me) many times with it and it worked.
If there is an obvious step I am missing, or incorrect syntax, please let me know.
Thanks in advance, Will Khan
