Chances are that the MPC8343 DDR controller is much the same as the MPC8349EA controller. Here's a couple of annotated BDI2000 configuration files for the MPC8349E-MDS-PB loaded with 2.5V DDR1, and the MPC8349EA-MDS-PB board loaded with 1.8V DDR2 ftp://www.denx.de/pub/BDI2000/mpc8349e_mds_pb.cfg ftp://www.denx.de/pub/BDI2000/mpc8349ea_mds_pb.cfg I'm not sure if it'll be of use, just wanted to mention it. The U-Boot code for the MPC8349 handles both board types transparently. I haven't delved into the code in too much detail, but I think the code is using the SPD EEPROM information to configure the controller appropriately for DDR1 or DDR2 operation. You can probably use that code as a reference to any changes required for your MPC8343 code. Regards, Dave ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

It should work with the memory that comes with the board, though. btw, the spd code is being used by default on the 834x mds, not this fixed_sdram stuff - it's mostly there for board porting completeness.
