Hello, This is getting frustrating and I am beginning to think someone messed this board up and returned it. I would think it would boot up the default flash image out of the box with very little trouble.
Board is a MPC8313e-RDB Rev A4. I set the dip switches per the instructions, S4 all off and S3 all on. Uboot comes up but I can not boot either the default images in the flash or images I built with ltib and tftped. I did not touch the flash. I get WARNING: could not set linux,stdout-path FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND and ERROR: /chosen node create failed - must RESET the board to recover. The board resets. A friend has the same board but his U-Boot is Version 1.3.0 (Jun 19 2008 - 13:41:53) MPC83XX and some environment variables are different. I do not have the BOOTCMD variable but entered it manually. I tried searching for on a solution but it is confusing because if aliases are needed why does the default dtb in the flash omit them? This is what happens: U-Boot 1.3.3 (Dec 8 2008 - 09:51:15) MPC83XX Reset Status: CPU: e300c3, MPC8313E, Rev: 1.0 at 333.333 MHz, CSB: 166.666 MHz Board: Freescale MPC8313ERDB I2C: ready DRAM: 128 MB FLASH: 8 MB In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: TSEC0, TSEC1 [PRIME] => bootm fe100000 fe300000 fe700000 ## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at fe100000 ...
