The FADS860T configuration also works for the 855T processor. LOADING U-Boot INTO FADS FLASH MEMORY -------------------------------------- MPC8BUG can load U-Boot into the FLASH memory using LOADF. loadf u-boot.srec 100000 STARTING U-Boot FROM MPC8BUG ----------------------------- To start U-Boot from MPC8BUG: 1. Reset the board: reset :h 2. Change BR0 and OR0 back to their values at reset: rms memc br0 00000001 rms memc or0 00000d34 3. Modify DER so MPC8BUG gets control only when it should: rms der 2002000f 4. Start as if from reset: go 100 This is NOT exactly the same as starting U-Boot without MPC8BUG. MPC8BUG turns off the watchdog as part of the hard reset. After it does the reset it writes SYPCR (to disable the watchdog) and sets BR0 and OR0 to map the FLASH at 0x02800000 (and does lots of other initialization). That is why it is necessary to set BR0 and OR0 to map the FLASH everywhere. U-Boot can't turn on the watchdog after that, since MPC8BUG has used the only chance to write to SYPCR. Here is a bizarre sequence of MPC8BUG and U-Boot commands that lets U-Boot write to SYPCR. It works with MPC8BUG 1.5 and an 855T processor (your mileage may vary). It is probably better (and a lot easier) just to accept having the watchdog disabled when the debug cable is connected. in MPC8BUG: reset :h rms memc br0 00000001 rms memc or0 00000d34 rms der 2000f go 100 Now U-Boot is running with the MPC8BUG value for SYPCR. Use the U-Boot 'reset' command to reset the board. =>reset Next, in MPC8BUG: rms der 2000f go Now U-Boot is running with the U-Boot value for SYPCR.
