[U-Boot-Users] Re: Porting u-boot-1.1.1 to PPC8248/8247 PPCs
Hi Fadi,
I?m trying to port the latest u-boot on sourceforge over toPPC8248 from the latest PPC8272 platform (based on MPC8272ADS reference board from Moto). Do you know If anyone started this project on the side yet? If not, do you have any pointers of where To start and/or a task list of what to watch out for? I have no problems disclosing the Code once I finish my port.
I am not familiar with such an effort - but I am CC'ing this reply to the u-boot mailing list, maybe someone there knows better....
Cheers Detlev

Do you think this is the best starting point?
There is a conflict betwen your subject and the body text: in the body you write "the latest u-boot" (which is correct., meaning top-of-tree version in CVS), but in the subject you refer to u-boot-1.1.1 which is NOT the latest version and should NOT be used for any new work.
Best regards,

What exactly do you need to port from 8272 to 8248? It's exactly the same chip. The only difference is that 8272 supports ATM (which you obviously don't need) and 8248 does not. Anyway, if you need an example, you can look at the patch which I sent couple of days ago to add support for Rattler board. It works on 8248. And please use the latest U-Boot from CVS, not 1.1.1.
