I see plenty of mpc82xx listed as active on freescale.com, e.g.: http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8272&tab=Buy_Parametric_Tab&lang_cd= http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8280&tab=Buy_Parametric_Tab&lang_cd= http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8248&tab=Buy_Parametric_Tab&lang_cd= http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8245&tab=Buy_Parametric_Tab&lang_cd= Likewise for 8xx. It does appear that MPC8240 is "No Longer Manufactured" and MPC8241 is "Not Recommended for New Design". Of course, whether a particular piece of code has anyone willing to maintain it is a separate question. -Scott _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
