[U-Boot-Users] which config to choose for MPC8347E cpu ?

Hi,
I have a custom board with a MPC8347E and U-Boot doesn't have a config for this cpu. which config is more appropriate to use for my board ? (maybe MPC8349EMDS or sbc8349 or tqm834x ?).
any tips ? TIA.
cheers,
Fathi

The schematic for the MPC8349EMDS is available on Freescale's web site, and I believe TQS makes their schematics available too. I don't know about the SBC one (Wind River, maybe?). Ultimately, compare schematics to your board and choose the one that's most similar as a starting point. IIRC 8347 is a subset of 8349 (one less PCI bus or something like that) so the 8349 configs should be fine.

Yep,
I started from mpc8349emds and worked further from there. Reminds me to re-submit my board configs again after cleanup.

TQ only provisdes the schematics for the carrier board, but not for the CPU modules.

Fathi,
there are 3 different MPC834x (3,7 and 9) which all have same silicon. The difference is the package.
The 43 has a small package and the 49 a big one. The 47 is available in both. Package size defines PCI bus (small has 1x 32Bit, large has 64-Bit or 2x 32Bit) and memory bus width.
Which one do you have ?
I'm working with a 43 right now and it works fine. My starting point has been the MPC8349EMDS.
I can share my config if you want to - please let me know.
