Gerald,

The MPC8272ADS board has also a 32 bits wide flash.
But in the doc, the BPS field appears in the first byte of the HRCW, bits
4-5,
which is 11 in "0x0E". So I should be using 32 bit wide access, not 16 bit
wide.
I am booting from flash, at least it should. Both jumper JP9 and SW2 are
selected following doc indications. In fact, those 16 bits I get, are from
flash's
contents. The jumper I was asking for would be another bad documented one.

I think you are right and my flash width is misconfigured. But it's the
reason
I cannot figure out. That is why I was asking for phantom jumpers.
