Ucode/BD conflict on PowerPC 860

[Gray, Steve - UK]

Hi Scott
Thanks for the notes on modifying the data subnode. 
I am pleased to say this has fixed the problem and the console is
working now.


Kind Regards

Stve

No, that will confuse the kernel into thinking that muram starts at IMMR

offset 0x3000.  You need to change the reg property of the data subnode 
to <0x1000 0xc00>, so that you restrict the allocation range without 
affecting the offset that is subtracted from the physical address to 
obtain the value given to the CPM.
