I guess the MPC8275 here is just a typo and you really mean the MPC8572
as given in the subject? The MPC8275 is a PQ II processor, and
definitely not a dual-core one.

[But hey, who knows what Freescale defines that to mean - they also
call the MPC5121E a "dual core" system...]

As far as I can tell, the MPC8572 has no real FPU but the same SPE v2
unit as used for example in the 8544/8548.  So  you  should  use  the
ppc_85xxDP packages.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
