The source code above is auto generated code from Code Warrior 8.8 When I make a new PPC project with MPC8349E + MITX(rev1) board. You can easily find comments and code mismatches. (See red color) specially in the case of the base register. In the data sheet, 17 bits represent the base address, but the code and the comment are some correct and some are wrong. What should I trust?

The initialization file provided in CodeWarrior is only used for MPC8349MDS demo board, you need to modify BRx and ORx registers according to your target board.

Please refer to section "10.3.1.1 Base Registers (BR0–BR7)" and "10.3.1.2 Option Registers (OR0–OR7)" in https://www.nxp.com.cn/docs/en/reference-manual/MPC8349EARM.pdf to configure BRx and ORx registers according to your target board.

Thank you for your kind answer.

I'm using MPC8349E-MiTX (rev.1) E/V board from NXP now. (You can choose this board when creating a project in Code Warrior v8.8) I was expecting that BRx and ORx should be modified to suit my target board, but what I don't understand is the mismatch between the (Red text) source code and the comments. Obviously, there is a mismatch between the two, and I don't know which of them is correct. Should I trust the source code or the comments? It makes me confused

According to the LAW definition, the source code is correct.

I still don't get it. For example,

################################################################

writemem.l 0xe0000028 0xff000000 # LBLAWBAR1 - begining at 0xFE000000

################################################################

In this one line, the value of 0xE000_0028 is 0xFF00_0000.

The comment should be "LBLAWBAR1 - beginning at 0xFF000000"

but the it says "LBLAWBAR1 - beginning at 0xFE000000"

Is this right? What did I miss....?

Yes, you are correct.

If my opinion is correct, then it makes sense. Problem solved. I will trust the source code, not the comment. Thank you for good advice.
