Please upgrade. PPCBoot is pretty old, and a lot of modifications have been added lately.

Read the documentation; see http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual > Also, I have one separate program which, I downloaded from somewhere > which does some read/write operation to the PM826 card's flash. Through > that program the writing is working perfect. It's working perfectly in PPCBoot and U-Boot, too. Just remember that the command to write to flash is "cp" (and it's variants "cp.{l|w|b}"). > Has it something to do with ppcboot configuration or the addressing mode? No, it is a user error.
