Freescale 8272ADS configuration

Freescale 8272ADS configuration

[Carlos Munoz]

Hi all,

I have a new Freescale 8272ADS board that I need to load uboot and linux 
on. I have read all the documentation that came with the board but 
unfortunately it doesn't explain how to bring up the board from scratch. 
Does anyone know what I need to do to load uboot and linux on this board ?

Thanks,


Carlos

Carlos,

You need to load u-boot using the following BDI2000 config file:

	ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/BDI2000/MPC8260ADS.cfg

u-boot itself needs to be configured with 
	
	make  MPC8272ADS_config

before it is built.

The kernel needs to be configured with

	make ads8272_config && make oldconfig

before it is built.

And most importantly you should read the user manual on 

	http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/Manual

It's a bit 8xx centric but most of it applies to the 82xx as well.

Alex

There are also versions for other processors, like MPC5200, MPC834x,
MPC85xx, PPC405 and PPC440; see

Hi Carlos,

I found two interesting documents on the Web (one from a grad student and
other from Freescale website). Both are generic steps from U-BOOT porting to
Linux bring up. I don't know which kernel you decide to use but these are
quite useful to read to get very good inputs.

I have both these documents (they are for 860 and 8260 but as Wolfgang
mentioned) these are very closely related as they are the same family. I
cannot attach documents more than 100 KB on this list.

One more "WAR Story" for you too from helicontech
