[U-Boot] Which U-Boot releases have Device Tree support
We bought a MPC8360E-RDK development kit to develop applications under MontaVista CGE5.0. We were toldby the consultant whose doing our board LSP that the U-Boot version that came with the development kit did not have device tree support. The consultant upgraded the U-Boot to a version that has device tree support, but he says he doesn't have the source code for the U-Boot version. I need the source to make certain updates.
Which U-Boot version can I download that has device tree support?
Thanks.

Hi Christopher,
The tip of the tree is the best. The mpc8360erdk is supported. If you want a released version, the latest is v2009.03. http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/ReleaseCycle
Best regards, gvb

If you've registered your MPC8360E-RDK with Logic, you should be able to login to the Logic website and download the entire LTIB source that includes a version of u-boot with full source/patches that fully support dealing with device tree binary (dtb) files, and also includes a kernel for the MPC8360E-RDK, and the build process generates an appropriate device tree binary for the board...

Additionally any recent u-boot (v2009.03) and kernel (v2.6.29) have in tree support for the RDK board.

On the other hand there is zero reason to stick with such an out-of-tree port when the board is supported in mainline.

Hi,
I am new to Linux uboot. I have also purchased a MPC8360E-RDK. There is no uboot source code on the CodeWarrior CD either. The LTIB (ltib-mpc8360-com-express-20080709) I downloaded from www.logicpd.com does not have source code for uboot either. It comes with a uboot image though. I can build kernel image (uImage) and jfss2 file system. I will very appreciate if you can show me where to get the uboot source code and how to build it for my MPC8360E-RDK board.
Thank you very much! Jew-Dong

If logicpd is not violating the GPL, there must be a written notice in the package (written, i. e. printed on some paper included in the package) which explains where you can get their source code from.
I can build kernel image (uImage) and jfss2 file system. I will very appreciate if you can show me where to get the uboot source code and how to build it for my MPC8360E-RDK board.
Just use top of tree. It is supposed to work fine. At leats it works fine here.
And please don't top post / full quote. Make sure to read http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Hi Wolfgang,
Thanks for the information. This is the first time I am searching for the u-boot source code for MPC8360E-RDK. Three more questions here:
Is the following URL the right place to get the files? If not, can you show me the right link?
http://git.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=u-boot.git;a=tree;h=a7b2196b15b925ca...
Secondly, how do I use GIT to download the source code?
Lastly, how do I tell make to build the u-boot for MPC8360E-RDK board?
Thank you very much! Jew-Dong

I do not intend to answer questions that are well-documented on ythe U-Boot web site and in the manual.
Please read the documentation.
