Unfortunately, I'm still having some problems, and any info or light as to which direction to go would be helpful (bear with me, I'm still an undergrad student learning about all this stuff)
so here is what I have done so far 1)successfully installed ELDK from the DENX website on Red Hat 8.0 with ppc_8260-gcc cross compiler working fine. 2)unpacked the source for PPCBOOT, my board is specifically the ep8260. since it has a HRW set to boot from location 0xfff0000 in flash, i change the appropriate starting location in the config.mk file for PPCBOOT then I make distclean make ep8260_config make all i get three ppcboot files ppcboot (573516) ppcboot.bin(181136) ppcboot.srec(543460) .. put them in the /tftpboot directory. 3)burn them into location 0xfff00000 with my trusty bdi. it burns correctly. (i can see that it has in fact written to that location with md 0xfff00000) 4)at prompt, i type in "reset", then "go" and it throws me into debug mode. (or "go 0xfff00000") i think i have followed the README from PPCBOOT correctly, as well as other documentation given. Is there a configuration or something im missing? ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
