8541E and RNG

2007-01-17 Thread Steve Iribarne (GMail)
Anyone ever tried to use the Random Number Generator on the MPC8541E? I can't get it to behave, so if you've used it and there were any tricks, I'd appreciate some insite. I'm using in Linux 2.4.xx. Thanks. -stv -- /* * Steve Iribarne * Software Engineer * (aka Grunt) */

snip... Yes, that that is another part of the puzzle as both the /etc/securetty and the /etc/xinetd.d/telnet files are identical in both root filesystems. So, there must be some ither file somewhere keeping me from cooking my toast with a telnet login to the 8541. Seems to me thing you can

Hello. This is more a general question to see what others do out here. I am begining to get sick of printk debugging. I work on two different PPC boards. An 860 and 8260. I want to get some feedback on the best kernel debugger to use. I have been looking at three. 1. kgdb 2. kdb 3. UML

for example, right now I think I have a DMA problem that is crashing my PPC and rebooting the system. To be sure, I would love to step over a few instructions and slow the world down a bit. That's why I was going to setup kgdb or something like that. Thanks. -stv Steve Iribarne (GMail) wrote

Hello All. Yes it's me again. So I've got a BDI2000. I have my serial cable hooked up and I can run the ./bdisetup -v program. The question I have is what type do I select for my MPC8260. As you can see I'm new to this part of the PPC world. I'm usually a bit higher up and someone has

Ummm... if you want to use the BDI2000 with a MPC8260 processor you need a firmware version for such a CPU. Abatron always ships these with manual included (both on paper copy and on floppy disk). outdated. I couldn't readily find the newer manual. So when all else fails. Ask. :)
