Hi,
I’m not sure if this is really the right place to ask, but since the issue I have is related to problems encountered when updating the version of Ltib I’m using - I thought it would be a good place to start.
I’m using the ltib from freescale for the MPC8315E Power quicc processor. I was previously using the release that came with the dev board dated 20080630, which used u-boot 1.20 to NFS boot my board.
I have switched to the latest ltib release dated 20091019 but I can’t get my board to boot correcly with the new linux kernel & u-boot images that I’ve built.
I’ve programmed the latest flavour of u-boot into my board, but it fails when trying to boot into linux. Here’s the boot-up output :

Resetting the board.
At which point, the unit reboots & starts all over again.
I’ve checked that the version of mpc8315erdb-default.dtb is the one built by the latest ltib.
Not sure where to go from here – anyone got any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
