[U-Boot-Users] mpc8544 u-boot support
Hi:
I am not new in u-boot, but this is the first time I must deal with Freescale CPU, namely mpc8544 (I have been working so far with Microblaze, ARM9, ppc440 and ppc405). My board is going to be very close to Interpid reference design.
If somebody of you folks can point me to the best u-boot and Linux resources for this CPU and board, I would really appreciate that.
Thanks,
Leonid.

resources for this CPU and board
The code available via
cg-clone http://source.denx.net/git/u-boot.git
contains several mpc85xx based boards.

Depending on board hardware-compatibility, it's best to use the latest U-Boot release from: ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ or the latest git-tree: http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=summary
I am fine (for mpc8540 and mpc8548) with Linus' 2.6.24 tree from kernel.org. For development purposes, however, checkout the latest paulus.git from: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git;a=summary YMMV.
For a toolchain, you can go with the Denx' ELDK or use my native CRUX Linux distro which will be published, when I'll find some spare time. :-)

Clemens

I agree with the guys that using the latest u-boot/kernel from git is your best choice. We've been making a lot of changes to 85xx support recently and if you intend for your board port to get back into the community it will be easier to start from something current.
Also, Freescale provides prebuilt toolchains as part of their 'BSPs'. (I'd skip using the BSP for kernel/u-boot at this point).

Also, forgot to say we have the MPC8544 DS board in u-boot today (boards/freescale/mpc8544ds)

Yes, I saw in u-boot depot though didn't try to run it yet (didn't get reference design). Is it the same called "Interpid"?

I might also point out that there is also a specific custodian repository on denx.de for 85xx.

Do I really need any special toolchain or ELDK 4.1 will do?

eldk 4.1 for 85xx should be fine. (just make sure to get the 85xx one)
