Hi all, After commenting out the BCSR lines on m82xx_board_init as Dan suggested, some problem still prevents kernel 2.6.10-rc1 from running in ads8272 board.
After running MMU_init, next step in head.S is this /* * Go back to running unmapped so we can load up new values * for SDR1 (hash table pointer) and the segment registers * and change to using our exception vectors. */ lis r4,2f at h ori r4,r4,2f at l tophys(r4,r4) li r3,MSR_KERNEL & ~(MSR_IR|MSR_DR) FIX_SRR1(r3,r5) mtspr SRR0,r4 mtspr SRR1,r3 SYNC RFI /* Load up the kernel context */ 2: bl load_up_mmu which is not clear for me. Here, the execution flow breaks in RFI and never arrives to "bl load_up_mmu". The value of SRR0 and SRR1 before RFI is: 8272>rd srr0 srr0: 0x000035f8 13816 8272>rd srr1 srr1: 0x00001002 4098 SRR0=0x35f8 is the EA where "bl load_up_mmu" instruction is supposed to be. So now I have no idea about what or why this is not working. Any help would be very valuable. My knowledge about this stuff is actually very limited.
