Hello.. I'm very new to embedded systems but want to learn a bit more by using existing hardware. In this case, the existing hardware is a DirectvDSL ADSL modem based on the MPC850 processor. I've located the BDM port and built a MPCBDM version 2 interface to communicate with the MPC850. The interface works just fine.
What I want to do now is to load the u-boot bootloader onto the board. What I'm trying to accomplish now is to load the u-boot code into ram and run it. I don't have my flash definitions right in MPCBDM yet, otherwise I'd try to flash it. I realize that this is not going to be an easy task, but what better way to learn than to dive right in. So.. I'm stumped. Can anyone provide just a little bit of idea of where to go from here? Perhaps a tutorial URL, or some past experience in working with the 850? The board has a single 4 Mbyte flash chip (Intel DA28F320J5) and 16 Mbyte RAM. Thanks, Ryan Wilkins
