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. Th
You probably want to post this to the u-boot users mailing
lists. Compiling and linking u-boot to run out of ram is not a
straight forward task. I've done it on more then one board, but
it is not easy if you're a u-boot novice.
Search the list for "running out of ram" or something like that
and you
Thanks for the idea. I'll check it out.
What about running the Linux kernel from ram? Will I encounter the
same difficulties?
Thanks,

by copying itslef there and continung to run. But getting it to
run from ram it's reset vector (first linked a

No, this is what Linux is designed for.
But this doesn't help you. Before Linux can run, you need a working
boot
Ahh yes.. I wanted to get u-boot loaded into RAM and running from
there. The reason being, I'm having a bit of a hard time writing a
flash chip definition file in the MPCBDM Flash.def format for the Intel
DA28F320J5 flash chip. My thought was to boot u-boot from ram and then
see if it had bet

Understood. I need to understand a lot of
