RE: [Ltib] MPC8313 question - again

[Vijay . Nikam]

Yes it is an hardware issue, but this has been resolved in the REV.B board. Perhaps you can get this information in Rev.A Errata sheet.

I also have an mpc8313 Rev A board and was trying to port latest BSP available from freescale but was not successful and the lastest BSP is written for Rev.B board. And lot of silicon bugs has been resolved.

The lastest BSP can be downloaded from www.freescale.com/powerbsp and later you can add it in LTIB if you want. I dont know if Stuart will agree with this ? ? ?

I think using Rev.B based board will be much better option as lot of silicon bugs has been resolved according freescale to support team. As it could happen that fixing it hardware would cause some other issue, perhaps. Yes I beileve it could be a painful job but ...

Kind Regards,
Vijay Nikam

I agree with that - if it is a hardware issue.

I've already got another ticket with Freescale, I'll see where I get
with this.

What really sucks is that I bought several of these boards and
distributed to  software teams all over the world.  Replacing all of
them is going to Really Suck(tm)  </rant>
