Well, what did you expect when you configure for board "A" and run on board "B"?
1.Did i configured u-boot correctly for my board.If so what else i have to do to boot the board smoothly.
If you really have a "BMW" Board then you must configure U-Boot for the "BMW" board. Any other board configuration cannot work.
2.which cross compiler i have to use to compile this and where can we get it?
You can for example use the ELDK. See http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/ELDKAvailability

Hi Wolfgang, Thanks a lot for your response ..
I also tried BMW_config and used cross-compiler as ppc_82xx-* .When i load this i did not get any thing on console. My processor is MPC8245.

From what I recall about BMW, you probably want to go through the
BMW-related configuration bits and verify all the clock settings, memory settings, etc for your exact version of the board. IIRC the vendor was a bit prone to changing such things between different versions.
Good luck!

hi Wolfgang,
i used BMW configuration and now o/p is
U-Boot 1.1.6 (Sep 3 2008 - 21:48:59)
CPU: MPC8245 Revision 1.2 at 198 MHz: 16 kB I-Cache 16 kB D-Cache Board: BMW MPC8245/KAHLUA2 - CHRP (MAP B) Built: Sep 3 2008 at 21:48:59 Local Bus at 99 MHz DRAM: 64 MB FLASH: *** failed *** ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
What are macros i have to look at to pass the FLASH test.and actual DRAM is 256 MB but its showing 64 MB.
