ok, i'm now trying to write in flash with wind river ice sx debugger,
but there's another problem :-(, in bkm mode, starting tool: Program
flash devices of VisionClick sw, appearing those informations:
file name and path: i insert u-boot.bin filepath
Programming algoritms:i've insert this INTEL V28F128Jx (16384 x 8 ) 4
Devices in according to this info:
"Select the AMD 29F160xB (2048 x 8) 1 device for the 8-bit Flash and
select OK (select the Intel 28F128Jx (16384 x 8) 4 devices for the
32-bit
SODIMM Flash)."
Chip Select Function Port Size Address Range
/CS0 2MB BOOT FLASH 8-bits FE00_0000...FFFF_FFFF1
/CS1 64MB FLASH 32-bits E400_0000...E7FF_FFFF
/CS2 128MB SDRAM DIMM 64-bits 0000_0000...07FF_FFFF
/CS3 128MB SDRAM DIMM 64-bits 0800_0000...0FFF_FFFF
/CS4 16MB LOCAL BUS SDRAM 32-bits 2000_0000...20FF_FFFF

/CS9 Spare chip select
/CS10 Spare chip select
/CS11 Real Time Clock 8-bits 8000_0000...8000_1FFF
after there's:
Device and sector's base and end address
Base address:(insert E4000000 erase all selected)
Available ram workspace for flash algoritm:
insert 00000000 3100
before clicking erase and program i must write in bkm this command cs
cs1(selecting chip), it takes about 20 minutes and when it must load (i
suppose) u-boot on flash, it shows this error message:
"UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE EMULATOR.PLEASE CHECK THE PHYSICAL
CONNECTIONS AND USE TERMINAL WINDOWS TO CHECK COMMUNICATIONS SETTINGS"
the communications with emulator exist, because i'm still in bkm mode.
what's happened?thanks and sorry for my bad english ;-)

This is the output of the VxWorks boot loader.
Why are you trying to load another boot loader (u-boot)?
My best guess is that the u-boot file is not in a
format that the VxWorks boot loader likes (e.g. ELF).
I've been working with VxWorks on a MIPS board lately,
and am loading mips-elf big endian files compiled by
a GCC 4.1.1 toolchain.
You could use your powerpc objdump program to look
at the headers of the u-boot file and try to identify
the differences.
BTW, I believe the vxworks boot loader assumes that the
image is going into RAM location at which it is linked.
If you've built u-boot to run out of your Flash/ROM
I don't think you can expect the vxworks boot-loader
to program the flash.
If you want to replace the vxworks boot-loader, you'll
likely need to need to use either a JTAG debugger
(e.g. Abatron BDI2000) or load some kind of flash
programming code into RAM and over-write the vxworks
boot loader... you might want to be careful there
if you don't have a JTAG debugger... you may not
recover without one.

i'm trying to install linux on sbc8260(mpc8260 processor), i've used as
referement www.denx.de website, installing with success eldk and
u-boot.
now i'm stopped configuring vxworks boot, i'm not able to load u-boot
image and load it.
can help me?
using this configuration:
-----------------------------------------------------
boot device : motfcc
unit number : 0
processor number : 0
host name : motfcc0
file name : /tftpboot/u-boot
inet on ethernet (e) : 192.168.0.4:ffffff00
host inet (h) : 192.168.0.2
user (u) : federico
ftp password (pw) : federico
flags (f) : 0x80
target name (tn) : sbc8260
Attached TCP/IP interface to motfcc0.
Attaching network interface lo0... done.
Loading... Erroneous header read
Error loading file: errno =3D 0xffffffff.
=FC
