[U-Boot-Users] Re : MV64460 Burst reads from BootCS

[joe secund]

Hi Roel

I've seen similar behavior using a MV64560 and power
PC processor using a Windriver ICE.

Basically I could not read the MV internal registers
correctly when I did not plug in a bootrom (leaving
empty socket). Was reading zeroes anywhere in memory.

Somehow putting in even an empty Flash device allowed
me to initialize the processor correctly and
read/write MV registers and burn the flash via ICE.
