hi, im new to this email list.. but i am having some problems with my board and don't know where to turn.
target board: ep8260 host distribution: redhat 8.0 (with powerpc cross compilers) debugger: BDI2000 problem: trying to burn a PPCBOOT image into the flash memory at location 0xFF10 0000 setting up the initial bdi configurations.. i get the following output: [root at FISH gdbcop21]# ./bdisetup -v -s BDI Type : BDI2000 Rev.C (SN: 94406634) Loader : V1.05 Firmware : V1.14 bdiGDB for PPC6xx/PPC7xx Logic : V1.02 PPC6xx/PPC7xx MAC : 00-40-49-fa-40-66 IP Addr : 161.122.32.98 Subnet : 255.255.255.0 Gateway : 161.122.32.1 Host IP : 161.122.32.94 Config : ep8260.cfg.init everything looks normal to me... i have the ep8260.cfg.init file in the /tftpboot directory. so at this point i will connect to the board with telnet. # telnet 161.122.32.98 Trying 161.122.32.98... Connected to 161.122.32.98. Escape character is '^]'. BDI Debugger for Embedded PowerPC ================================= PHYS <address> converts an effective to a physical address **** **** other stuff here.. **** **** QUIT terminate the Telnet session bdi2000> since there is not error outputting that it cannot find the original configuration file ep8260.cfg.init, i conclude that tftp worked properly. i can read the flash memory, including the existing bootloader i got from embedded planet. (planetcore at location 0xFFF0 000) Now i place ppcboot.bin into the /tftpboot directory, and after checking whats in memory location 0xFF10 0000 (there is nothing there), i proceed to try and write into the flash: bdi2000>prog 0xFF100000 ppcboot.bin bin Programming ppcboot.bin , please wait .... # Cannot open program file on host bdi2000> this is what i can't figure out. i think that it must be a problem with the hosts tftp configuration, but i did check the tftp server several times, even connected it to other computers and swapping files. could there be a setting i missed in the BDI2000? also.. i was wondering if there was more detailed documentation on using the BDI2000 besides the manual that came with the prooduct and WD's PPCBoot and Linux Guide. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
