Re: [U-Boot] U-boot for PPC405GP based custom Board





Hi,
    Looks like the syntax for .lds file has changed. It does not like any 
defines. I was trying to get the new syntax in .lds files to include file 
or define a constan but could not get a definitive answere. Any help is 
appreciated.
By the way I have my own file for the custom board. Since the standard one 
also exhibited the problem I choose to send the error from taihu board.
Thanks in advance,

You should not use the Taihu board consifuration, but instead create
your own.

This should not happen. Either your tool chain is broken, or there was
some problem with your download. Is there any chance that a Windows
system was involved, so you have corrupted line endings (\r\n instead
of plain \n) ?

Best regards,
