Hi all, I was trying to get kernel 2.6.10-rc1 running in mpc8272ads board, but i have some problems.
Debugging with BDI2000 + gdb i have arrived to m82xx_board_init call, which is coded in arch/ppc/platforms/pq2ads.c as: void __init m82xx_board_init(void) { /* Enable the 2nd UART port */ *(volatile uint *)(BCSR_ADDR + 4) &= ~BCSR1_RS232_EN2; } When this code is executed, the kernel jumps directly to another address, 0xc000984c, which is inside the __delay function, and execution stays here in an infinite loop. I get the following disassemble from objdump: c01bf908 <m82xx_board_init>: c01bf908: 3d 20 f4 50 lis r9,-2992 c01bf90c: 61 29 00 04 ori r9,r9,4 c01bf910: 80 09 00 00 lwz r0,0(r9) <======= c01bf914: 54 00 02 0c rlwinm r0,r0,0,8,6 c01bf918: 90 09 00 00 stw r0,0(r9) c01bf91c: 4e 80 00 20 blr and the marked instruction is the last one executed before the jump. Any idea? Why this instruction is braching without control? As bootloader i am using uboot-1.1.2. Thanks. Alex
