[U-Boot-Users] Re: Code Warrior 8.14 + WireTAP + U-boot bootloader image ( Arabella 2 .0 C D-ROM "Linux for Motorola 82xx")

Wolfgang,
Your recommendation was well noted but at this point I want to avoid using u-boot image, compiled by myself from the source. At this point I want to use the "tried"/"tested" bootloader In my opinion, my question re usability of the u-boot bootloader images provided on the Arabella 2.0 CD-ROM "Linux for Motorola 82xx" is still worth to be asked/answered - this cdrom is "packaged" by the Freescale, when they ship the brand new board. Also FreeScale "packages" Code Warrior 8.14 (with one month evaluation license) + WireTAP probe into the shipment.
Do you yourself have the PQ2FADS_VR 66 MHz board (with the MPC8275 processor) by any chance (as well as Arabella 2.0 CD-ROM "Linux for Motorola 82xx" ?) ?
Thanks Alex,

I already replied to your question on the etux mailing list. There was no need to repost the very same question here. My hinto to post on u-boot-users was intended for _new_ questions.
While the programming of the flash seemingly completed without errors - however the resulted bootloader is not functional ... -
I repeat my recommendation:
Use the latest version of U-Boot (top of CVS tree). See http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot and http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual

Have a look at the CHANGELOG in the U-Boot CVS tree, and check yourself if any of the pacthes that have been added since the U-Boot version on your CDROM might be relevant for your board.
Then decide.

Neither one, nor the other (and anyway, I never really trust precompiled stuff).
