[U-Boot] coldfire support
Hi denx, I just want to know whether the coldfire processor is supported by u-boot and what toolchains need to be used for compilation. Whether ELDK will support or not ?
Thank you Thirumalai

starting with the downside: unfortunately there is no ELDK for Coldfire. U-Boot support for Coldfire is in place and running fine so far, although not as active (and feature-rich) as PPC. Of course, it would have been helpful if you would have mentioned which Coldfire you (intend to) use!
As a starting point, have a look at the evaluation boards in board/freescale/m5...
I am using the toolchain from codesourcery: http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/coldfire (go to Download and then select either uClinux or ELF)
Currently I am staying with the older 4.3.3 release, but also successfully tested the current 4.4.3 for U-Boot.
Regards, Wolfgang
Thirumalai,
These ColdFire processors (MCF52277, MCF5235, MCF5249, MCF5253, MCF5271, MCF5272, MCF5275, MCF5282, MCF5329, MCF5373, MCF5445x, and MCF547x_8x) are supported by u-boot.
Like Wolfgang Wegner mentioned, you can download the ToolChain at http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/coldfire.
As for the Linux, we use different repository site. http://www.bitshrine.org/gpp/

Hi all,
so unfortunately (for me), MCF5307 is still not supported. I took a fast look inside these supported models, to start up a new 5307 support, but every starting point, for the specific 5307 internal memory layout, is too different, and can't have the time to accomplish it now.
Hope that someday it will be added also.
greetings, Angelo
