    make uImage

    then, on U-boot:
    => tftpboot 200000 uImage
    => tftpboot 400000 pRamdisk
    => bootm 200000 400000

  • DBug:

    <edit Makefile to set ARCH=ppc & CROSS_COMPILE=… ( also EXTRAVERSION

    make lite5200_defconfig

    cp your_initrd.gz arch/ppc/boot/images/ramdisk.image.gz

    make zImage.initrd

    make

    then in DBug:
    DBug> dn -i zImage.initrd.lite5200

Some remarks :

  • The port is named mpc52xxx, and config options are PPC_MPC52xx. The MGT5100
    is not supported, and I’m not sure anyone is interesting in working on it
    so. I didn’t took 5xxx because there’s apparently a lot of 5xxx that have
    nothing to do with the MPC5200. I also included the ‘MPC’ for the same
    reason.
  • Of course, I inspired myself from the 2.4 port. If you think I forgot to
    mention you/your company in the copyright of some code, I’ll correct it
    ASAP.
