Re: [ECOS] PowerPC Redboot porting problems

Hi,

I see some progress now.
I was downloading .bin file to 0x0 (the same procedure I was using
before when I tried to download code to RAM an programming to flash).
I decide to move from .bin to .elf and voilá...

Now I have a new  message

--------------------------------------------------------------
Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.

seems that the exception occurs when I'm programming BR0/OR0

-------------------------------------------
	/*

      	/* BOOT ROM */
       lwi	r3,0x40000801	# 16-bit, GPCM
       lwi	r5,0xFF800774   # 7 wait states, up to 8MB
       stw	r3,BR0(r4)
       stw	r5,OR0(r4)

       lwi	r5,0xFF800E00
       stw	r3,BR1(r4)
       stw	r5,OR1(r4)
-----------------------------------------------

I didn't see the problem yet. Any idea.

Thanks,
TT.
