I download u-boot-1.3.2.tar.bz2 from http://denx.de/en. I can't find board/freescale/mpc8572pc directory in the tarball. Only mpc8548pcs can be found. So I am not sure whether freebsd8.0 is ok on mpc8572. If I want to run freebsd8.0 on mpc86572pc, does I need to modify freebsd8.0 code? How should I do at first step? Patrick, The 8.0-CURRENT has rudimentary MPC8572 support (single-core, silicon rev1.0 only). Please note that full SMP support (and all SOC peripherals drivers) is being or already is developed -- please contact me if you're interested in more details. As far as U-Boot goes, ver1.3.2 would not have support for any MPC8572-based system: coincidentally, patches with support for MPC8572DS were posted to u-boot mailing just today! You can either apply them yourself, or get the ready to use sources/binaries from Freescale. kind regards, Rafal
