Hello

I want to deliver a new custom computer board with Das U-boot installed. The board is based on the Freescale MPC8248 and so I am starting with the Rattler8248 eval board from Analogue Micro. I thought it would be a snap to get u-boot running on that board and then I could port it to my custom board. I want to deliver my board with u-boot because that would prove the board works and the customer has not decided whether to run linux, vxworks or no-OS and the flexibility of u-boot would support any approach.

So far I have not succeeded in running u-boot on the Rattler8248. I built the u-boot flash image from the 1.1.4 source and burned it into flash with the bdi2000. It starts to print out part of the splash screen and then stops responding to the console. I check the program counter with my bdi2000 and it is running at 0x01fccxxx. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what comes out on the console.
