Maybe you just need to program it and switch your CS0/CS6 jumper). Yes that is the start of Flash. For our final product we want our bootloader to live in Flash but I'm rethinking that for the EST board. >>From what I've read on the list is sounds like PPCBoot wants to live in ROM on the sbc8260 right? Is the above documented anywhere? I don't feel the need to reinvent the wheel for this board and I'd rather start off the right way. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
