Hello Tsi Chung Liew, I have installed u-boot and linux on a in-house-made coldfire mcf5484 based board. As u-boot currently supports mcf5484-based development boards, I used that as a starting point for the u-boot port for our in-house board.
For linux unfortunately I needed to stick with the ltib-based version of linux-2.6.25 for mcf5484-based development boards distributed by freescale. I have discovered the hard way that that version of linux does not use the mac addresses for the ethernet ports as known by u-boot under the names "ethaddr" and "eth1addr", but uses the same wrong mac-address for all the boards. Now it seems that the old way to communicate the mac addresses from u-boot to linux using the struct bd_info has been deprecated and removed from u-boot sources. I see some fdt-related functions in the u-boot sources, but I am not sure that the fdt blob is given to linux, or that linux for coldfire expects to get and use a fdt blob. Can you enlighten me regarding that point, especially for mcf5484 boards ? Thanks in advance Philippe _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
