This is a custom PPC4xx version, correct? Which external bus controller is 
used here? The EBC from IBM as on the AMCC 4xx versions? You need to check 
your SoC documentation for this.

Right. Most likely you just need to tune the chip select timing registers. And 
of course the size of the CS. No idea how this is done for your external bus 
controller though.

BTW: You might also need to configure a bigger TLB entry for the FLASH now 
that you use a bigger FLASH chip.

Yes. As most AMCC eval boards do.
