Since you are touching things here.. mind fixing the Version print. Its clearly not Version 0.2
Will do.
While we're discussing it I had 2 other questions:
- Can anyone at Freescale give a hint about how to tell the
difference between the 8640 and 8641?
why do you need to? If I'm not mistaken the 8640 is identical to 8641 except for freq and maybe the package.
It would be nice for aesthetic reasons only. My understanding was that the 8640 was just a die shrunk 8641 and that there was no functional difference as you mention.
- Does anyone know how the PVR in IBM's 750 line of processors is
parsed? I didn't see it in 750 processor datasheets and wanted to update the following line of code in cpu/74xx_7xx.c while updating the 86xx:
- printf ("%s v%d.%d", str, (pvr >> 8) & 0xFF, pvr & 0xFF);
The 86xx and 74xx processors all use the convention below but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't break any 750-based cpus when changing it:
- printf ("%s v%d.%d", str, (pvr >> 8) & 0xF, pvr & 0xFF);
take a look at the linux kernel tree (arch/powerpc/kernel/setup- common.c) (I think it does the right thing for 750)
Linux seems to match U-Boot for the 750 PVR, but there are some suspicious question marks in the comments in setup-common.c for the 750 PVR settings which make me wonder...
In any case I'll just modify the 86xx for now.
Thanks, Peter
