These are just some quick comments after a build test and a quick code
review.
The environment is latest with some patches from patchworks.
1) Your code does not build with
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/274193/
powerpc-linux-objcopy --gap-fill=0xff -O binary
/export/home/git.denx.de/local/obj-B4860QDS_NAND/u-boot
/export/home/git.denx.de/local/obj-B4860QDS_NAND/u-boot.bin
/export/home/git.denx.de/local/obj-B4860QDS_NAND/tools/mkimage -n \
-R -T pblimage \
-d /export/home/git.denx.de/local/obj-B4860QDS_NAND/u-
boot.bin /export/home//git.denx.de/local/obj-B4860QDS_NAND/u-boot.pbl
Error:-R - Can't open
make: *** [/export/home/git.denx.de/local/obj-B4860QDS_NAND/u-boot.pbl]
Error 1
You mention you use the PBL... but probably not a pblimage. The patch
correctly fixes RAMBOOT_PBL as a trigger to generate the pblimage (u-
boot.pbl) but there seems to be no RCW or PBI file defined.
2) Use the new SPDX identifiers
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/261356/
This was mainlined a few revisions ago.
3) Watch out for the new boards.cfg layout
I have one question, can this scenario be implemented on a P5040? i.e.
simulate that CPC is around 128Kb and load u-boot via SPL? Now all corenet
processors seem to only support pblimage booting.
All the best,
Rommel
