[U-Boot] Uboot Standalone Applications- Test_burst

[vneethv]

Hi,

I am trying to run the uboot example - the standalone application,
Test_burst to test my SRAM on Powerpc 440x5 board. Seems like the
application always crashes when i try to execute the same and it always
thrown some exception.
When i checked the code i found that there are some opcodes which are not
supported in ppc440x5 processor. And ppc440x5 also wont support creating a
pagesize 8MB. 

Please let me know if this application has to be rewritten or can be
modified so that i can use it for ppc440x5 powered board.

Thanks & Regards,
Vineeth V

No big surprise, I think.

If you look at the history of changes for this code, youc an see (in
the first commit, ID 931da93e: "MPC8xx/PowerPC only").

Yes, the code has to be rewritten for other hardware. Thorough
understanding of the inner workings will be needed to do that.
