Please correct me if I'm wrong, but MC68360 is  not  the  name  of  a
board,  but  of the Freescale (resp. ex Motorola) QICC CPU. There are
many different boards using this processor, so you will have to chose
a more descriptive board name.

Yes, you are right. MC68360 is the name of the CPU. But the board I'm working
at right now is my own design. That's why I can't do it.

Also, U-Boot 1.1.6 is outdated. Please submit your  patch  against  a
recent  version of U-Boot (i. e. top of tree in git repository, or at
least release 1.2.0).

Ooops, I was not aware of it. As far as I know, there was no official information about it.

Then, there are some coding style issues with your patch (indentation
not by TAB, indentation not by multiple of 8 columns, trailing  white
space,  C++  comments,  too long lines, etc.) as well as other formal
issues (missing Copyright entries, missing license  headers,  missing
Signed-off-by: line).

Ok. Could you tell me where I can get exact information about it?

It seems you use a private flash driver for a device that looks as if
it was CFI conformant. Please explain why you cannot use the CFI
driver instead.

This is because I have old non-CFI flash chips :(

I  also  wonder  if  you  really   need   a   new   ethernet   driver
(cpu/mc68360/enet.c) and a new serial driver (cpu/mc68360/serial.c) -
IIRC  the  CPM  on  the 360 is mostly compatible (with very few minor
deviations that can be handled easily) to the CPM on the PowerQICC  I
(=  MPC8xx) processors. I think most of this could could (and should)
be shared? The same holds for  some  other  files  like  for  example
include/asm-m68k/arch-mc68360/commproc.h  which  is  highly redundand
with the MPC8xx commproc.h

I don't know this processors family well enough, but I see what I can do with it....

Some of your files contain version ID stuff like here:

include/asm-m68k/arch-mc68360/mc68360_enet.h:

        ***********************************
        * $Id: m68360_enet.h,v 1.1.1.1 2001/05/18 17:10:11 hamilton Exp $
        ***********************************

Please remove this.

ok

I see some "#if 0" blocks in your code; please remove these.

ok

I see:

        #define CONFIG_BOOTFILE                        vmlinuz

This looks broken to me. U-Boot does not boot a vmlinuz file, but
U-Boot images created by mkimage.

Yes, this name is incorrect... Let it be uImage.

#define CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE             { 19200 }

This is *very* restrictive. I recommend to support all commonly  used
baudrates  instead  (i.  e.  at  least  the  range  from 9600 through
115200).

ok

#define CFG_HZ                         (unsigned long int)32768000

This is broken. CFG_HZ is required to be 1000 (i. e. millisecond
ticks).

okkk..

#define CFG_SDRAM_SIZE                 0x00800000

Please don't do that. U-Boot style is to allow auto-adjustment to the
actual RAM size.


#define CFG_MALLOC_LEN                 (5*1024*1024)

You have 8 MB of RAM and reserve 5 MB for malloc()? This seems broken
to me.

Why not? I really have it working :)

You comment out relevant parts of lib_m68k/board.c - you must not do
that!

Could you tell me the reason why I should not do it?

lib_m68k/time.c - your "implementation" of udelay() is broken. Please
replace by a working version.

I'll try.

Please clean up these issues and resubmit.


I'm grateful to you for your help and for what you are doing :)

I will take into consideration your advice and recommendations. And I'll try to correct my patch.

Best regards,
Matvejchikov Ilya.
