dump & write flash rom for MPC8543 CPU

[drew442]

I have an IBM BNT Rackswitch G8124.  I think I took too big of a leap in the flash versions.  The switch is bricked.  It runs an MPC8543 CPU from what I can tell.

I have a Codewarrior USP TAB with "900-75115 REV F" and "COP" stickers on the back.

I have downloaded Codewarrior 8.8.  Tried to dump the ROM and I get an error message about specifying the jtag frequency.

Would anyone be able to help me create a config file (or point me to an existing one?)  All I really need to do is reflash the switch correctly to get it working.

Relevant info / forum thread is here 

Thanks for any help you can provide!

MPC8543 is supported by CodeWarrior PA 10.5.1.

Please download and install it.

[drew442]

Done, thanks.  I should use the 8548 CPU type correct?

Correct.

[drew442]

OK.  I set up a project for an 8548 CPU, and tried to add a task for the flash writer. I can't seem to get it working.  I get this in the console log

fl::target -lc "kernel"
fl::target -b 0x0 0x80000
fl::target -v off -l off

This is an init file for a BDI2000.  Where would I put similar init commands?  I'm guessing somewhere in C:\Freescale\CW_PA_v10.5.1\PA\PA_Support\Initialization_Files\85xx

Debug Connection should be established and be active before executing Flash Programmer Target Task.

Required initial steps:

1) create Bareboard project for the MPC8548 (menu File -> New) using the Project Wizard

2) on the "Debug Target Settings" pane of the Project Wizard check "Connect SRAM" checkbox and select USB TAP as "Connection Type"

3) press "Finish" button

To establish Debug Connection:

1) right-click on the created bareboard project -> Debug As -> Debug Configurations

2) click "_Connect SRAM" Debug Configuration

3) press Debug button

Started Debug Configuration will initialize the board as MPC8548CDS.

If initialization settings of the proprietary board are different edit "8548CDS_init_sram.tcl" in the CFG folder of the created bareboard project.

Followed the instructions exactly, got this error.

I can see the TX/RX light flashing and turning orange / green when i start the debug session, so something's talking to the USB TAP.

Error launching flash-core00_SRAM_8548_Connect
CCSProtocolPlugin::Could not connect to the requested core #0.

I enabled JTAG diagnostics and got these messages before the prior message:

Starting Power at Probe Test ...

Test result: PASSED

Starting IR Scan test...

Error measuring IR length

did some more digging, found a troubleshooting script.

There is no processor in the JTAG chain.

Please refer to the board documentation to check whether some configuring is required.
