[U-Boot-Users] Motorola PQ2FADS board

I'll be moving from a MPC8266ADS-PCI board to a Motorola PQ2FADS-ZU board soon. Has anyone used u-boot with the PQ2?
Any issues, problems, solutions you can share would be much appreciated.
Regards, --Scott

I ported U-Boot to this board and use it with Linux. No problems so far. I don't initialise PCI bridge in U-Boot because I don't need PCI to boot Linux. Linux kernel initialises PCI according to its needs. I sent a patch which prevents U-Boot from trying to initialise local bus SDRAM if the board configured in PCI mode, but it's not in CVS yet. Probably Wolfgang is too busy.

There may be a problem if you connect board's Ethernet to a hub. Switch or direct connection to PC using cross-cable work OK. It looks like Davicom PHY problem.
Good luck,
