Hello everyone

just bought the TQM8260-AG board (and STK82XX.100 starterkit). I have been trying to execute U-Boot-0.4.0 without any luck. It seems to get stuck during power up, i.e. no characters on the SMC ports (checked both to be sure). I have also tried to test the SMCTX/SMCRX pins with an oscilloscope - there is no activity.

I started out with ppcboot-2.0.0 and experienced the same problem. With ppcboot however I was able to use a Lauterbach debugger in order to try and trace the problem. It seems that ppcboot enters an endless loop just after entering cpu_init_f during powerup. As far as I can figure out using the Lauterbach débugger (which I am absolutely no expert at) the loop has something to do with either an DebugException or ppcstring.o.

I am using Red Hat 9.0, ELDK 2.0.0 and are compiling using the following syntax (taken from the Denx TQM8xxL guide as there is no guide available for the TQM8260 board): make distclean make TQM8260_300MHz_config make all I download the resulting srec file using protect 1234 erase 40000000 4001ffff load 0 f ..and then sends the srec file

Mt TQM8260 board is the TQM8260-AG.204 board from TQM. Has anyone got this board to work with Denx Linux??

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Kim Engedahl
