linux-2.4.18 & copy-back cache mode

[Navin Boppuri]

I am sorry. I meant 64Mhz , not 66Mhz.

I am running my MPC855T at 66Mhz 1:1 CPU/bus clock mode without any problems. I used an app. note from Motorola to do this and according to the app.note, we just need to satisfy some timing constraints on the processor (latency of data reaching the MPC pins from SDRAM). The app. note suggests using specific Micron SDRAM which satisfy all these requirements.

Interesting.  Faster than 50 MHz cores used to require the 2:1 bus
clock division.  I don't remember timing parameters that would
exceed 50 MHz.  Yes, the part will let you do that, but I thought that
was outside of the part specification.  I guess I'll have to take a look.
