Thanks for clearing that up.

One other question, if i update to u-boot 1.3.4 or whatever is the latest, can i configure so that i doesn't use FDT to boot kernel ?

You don't have to configure that - it just depoends on how you boot the Linux kenrel image - either you pass a device tree address (as the third argument to the bootm command), or you don't.

True. But if your question was really "Can I have PowerPC board boot without a Device Tree?", then no, you can't unless you work really hard in the wrong direction. :-)

All PowerPC converted to using the Device Tree for booting over two years ago now.
