Wolfgang is correct here.  If it is a standard MPC8560ADS board, it
also should have arrived on your desk with U-Boot on it already.
If for some reason U-Boot isn't there, we've been placing it there
using the BDI-2000.  Your ICE mechanism may also work.

Right.  What do you want it to be?  If you are then wanting to
boot the MPC8560ADS linux as well, we strongly recommend that you
follow the address map that is documented in the README.mpc85xxads.

Please read the U-Boot doc/README.mpc85xxads file.
