Problem:-BDI(u-boot) programming on MPC 8272ADS

[Federico Lucifredi]

Srideep,
 I have never used the BDI 2000 with the MPC8272, however, I can tell
you that configuring your emulator for your specific board, if the
manufacturer does not provide a *verified* configuration for it, is
something that takes some time and a few variables to tweak.

 Maybe you can expect to find a configuration ready made for some
Motorola prototype board like the ADS 8272, *but* it would be a mistake
to assume that that maps directly to your hardware in a workable manner.

 Bottom line, you need to know exactly what all of the emulator knobs
are, and, if this is new hardware, keep in mind that it [the new
hardware] could be malfunctioning. Do not assume the hardware is
operating as a reliable computer unless you have positive proof that is
the case - my personal experience is that I tried to make an emulator
work on hardware that someone above me kept insisting "had to be
working" - which was not the case.  I got plenty of frustration and
nothing to show for it - I should have defended the case that the
hardware was not working much harder than I did 8)

 Anyway.. I am digressing. How is your BDI 2000 behaving ? I was using
an "Embedded Toolsmiths" emulator, by the way.
