[U-Boot-Users] Status of OF in TQM8540 and linux-2.6.17.11
Hi There!
I've just updated a TQM8540-AB module on the STK85XX with the latest git-tree of: U-Boot 1.1.4-gf60ba0d3 (Sep 4 2006 - 16:09:19) with the default configuration (make TQM8540_config) which worked fine.
Now I try to boot a current linux kernel - the vanilla 2.6.17.11 with the default tqm8540 config but it doesn't show any sign of life yet (I'm about to start to enable early printk and debugging stuff). An old linux-2.6.13-rc7 which I had for my Microsys PM854 board starts to boot fine, so U-Boot works fine with the old kernel.
I remember that there was a discussion that the ppc people planned to implement OpenFirmware for more flexible board initialization. How is the current status of OF support in U-Boot? Are there any tips&tricks to consider regarding that point?
Thank you,

Please use the kernel from our repo instead; see http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-2.6-denx.git

This has nothing to with this.

Yes, use a working kernel. Not all our patches have been accepted upstream, and we have some lag with re-submissions.

Okay, the compilation after a make TQM8540_defconfig fails:

Yes, use a working kernel. Not all our patches have been accepted upstream, and we have some lag with re-submissions.
According to TQC, the latest "working" kernel was a 2.6.15-git from your (denx) tree. I get the details from Mr. Becher@TQC and see how far I can get.
Okay, let's move over to linux-ppc-embedded. (xposting)

The upper defines need to reside in the board-specific code for tqm as well as for other boards utilizing such scheme (see platforms/85xx/mpc85xx_ads_common.h for instance).
Fix for FCC3_MEM_OFFSET was part of my patch series (as a typo fix), I'll submit it separately since it's a notable bugfix should be in the mainstream.
