Hi,

Appart from the ATM/UTOPIA support, is there any other relevant difference between those two cores (the MPC8248 and the MPC8272)? I have checked the doc from freescale and I haven't found it.

Now, I am using the MPC8272 core without the ATM features, but soon I will be using the MPC8248. I have always thought that both, uboot and the linux kernel would be both usable in the new core with the MPC8272 port. Am I wrong? Is a new port necessary for this core?

Best regards,

Alex

Hi Fadi,

...

I?m trying to port the latest u-boot on sourceforge over to

PPC8248 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
