[U-Boot-Users] Can a BDI2K be used with a bare/erased 834x based system?

You know, that's interesting. We're using a BDI2000 with an mpc8343
here, and have to set the processor to a pre-defined mode to initially
flash a RCW in, then set it back to loading from local bus after we
have a valid word programmed. We've followed Freescale's guides on how
to connect the COP port to the CPU, but have never gotten past
switching modes to program the RCW.

Quite interesting...
