Re: a question about mpc8xx linux

how do you know execution stop at "rfi" instruction.i think it seems it stop at 
"rfi"  instruction when debugging through debugger, but it does n't . you check 
it by putting break point in the later functions e.g start_here, machine_init 
etc.

Sorry, I missed that you're using arch/ppc rather than arch/powerpc.

arch/ppc doesn't require a device tree, though it would be good to 
switch to arch/powerpc once my 8xx fixes go in -- arch/ppc is deprecated.

You'll need either a device-tree-aware u-boot or 8xx cuImage support; 
you can get the latter from the patchset I posted recently.

The rfi transfers control to start_here:

a question about mpc8xx linux

2007-07-27 Thread poorbeyond
my cpu is MPC860, use u-boot-1.1.4, linux-2.6.20.14

i use the "tftp 30 uImage" command download kernel image,

then use the "bootm 30" command boot the image.


i found the bootm cmd entered the /arch/ppc/kernel/head_8xx.s, stop at the 
instruction "rfi".
is it right? after the instruction, where does the code go normally ? what 
should i do now?

thanks
