Hi,
A customer asked for a training with a freescale eval board and I would
like to use yocto for it.
What I found from the documentation is, that the MPC8313E-RDB Reference
Platform is supported. I'm a bit confused by a list, which can be found
on the Freescale website:
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8313E-RDB&tab=Buy_Parametric_Tab&pspll=1&fromSearch=false
It says:
MPC8313E-RDB,Hardware Only 8313E PROCESSOR BD (SOCK Hardware Not
Recommended for New Design)
MPC8313E-RDB-T, MPC8313E-RDB-U, MPC8313E-RDB-UT, MPC8313E-RDBB seem to
be still supported. What's the difference? What would you recommend?
Besides the PPC the iMX31ADS seems to be supported as well.
The imx31ads is supported by older non linux-yocto recipes, so it
may have some bit rot at the moment. Until it gets refreshed onto
a linux-yocto base, your mileage will vary with it.
What would you recommend? Are there more Freescale eval boards going to
be supported by yocto in the near future?
We're currently using the following board.
http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?PName?Name=MPC8315E-RDBA-ND&Site=US&Lang=EN
Confirmed. This is the board we are currently using.
I don't know which upcoming boards are likely to be adopted, perhaps
Bruce (CC'd) will have some ideas?
There are definitely plans to update/refresh the FSL/e500 board
options. Unofficially there's a whole set of boards that will
work fine, and there's a good pool of good quality BSPs that are
viable options.
I hesitate to say more, since nothing has been quite chosen yet
and I'd be speculating or worse misleading at this point. But
a newer e500 based board is something that will arrive once
everything falls into place.
That being said, I can suggest/help with the addition of any of
a number of FSL powerpc based boards, it all depends on what
the requirements are for the board. Does it just have to
be readily available ? Less than 'x' dollars ? Any particular
peripheral support ?
Cheers,
Bruce
