Hi;
      I am using ppc-2004-11-10.iso and I am referring to cpu/mpc8260 arch.
The MPC8260ADS.h defines the temporary ram and the global data structure
locations as follows:

#define CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR       CFG_IMMR
#define CFG_INIT_RAM_END        0x2000  /* End of used area in DPRAM    */
#define CFG_GBL_DATA_SIZE       128     /* size in bytes reserved for initial data */
#define CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET     (CFG_INIT_RAM_END - CFG_GBL_DATA_SIZE)
#define CFG_INIT_SP_OFFSET      CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET

      does cpu_init_f() in cpu_init.c calculate the address of gd pointer wrongly?

        /* Pointer is writable since we allocated a register for it */
        gd = (gd_t *) (CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR + CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET);

      Shouldn't it be:

        /* Pointer is writable since we allocated a register for it */
        gd = (gd_t *) (CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET);

      ???

Regards,
TEH
