Problems with Custom Boot in MPC8260

[victor_manuel]

Hi,

I'm new on programming for powerpc. I'm trying to make an application that sends a string to the serial port (SMC_2). The card that I'm using is an embedded powerquicc mpc8260. It has a Custom Boot that depending of two switches set the Counter Program to 0xf3000100. Then my program has to start at this position. I took the functions from the boot code. Here is my program:

 typedef struct buffer_descriptor{U16  cntl_stat     ;                 /*!< control & status register size = 2  offset  0*/U16  data_len      ;                 /*!< data length register    size = 2  offset  2*/U32  buf_address   ;                 /*!< buffer address register size = 4  offset 4*/}bd_t; typedef struct smc_buffers{                                                                                         /*smc1    smc2*/bd_t  rxbd          ;            /*!< receive buffer desciptor  size = 8    3F00    3f40*/U8  name        [8] ;            /*!< name of channel(user)     size = 8    3F08    3f48*/U8 rxbuffer    [16];             /*!< receive buffer            size = 16   3F10    3f50*/bd_t  txbd          ;            /*!< transmit buffer desciptor size = 8    3F20    3f60*/U32  condition     ;             /*!< condition register(user)  size = 4    3F28    3f68*/S32   last_result   ;            /*!< last result register(user)size = 4    3F2C    3F6C*/U8   txbuffer  [16];             /*!< transmit buffer           size = 16   3F30    3F70*/}smc_buffers_t;     //other structs

 And for compiling it I'm using cygwin with a cross-compiler:

powerpc-elf-gcc -Wall -g -c -Wno-pointer-sign -Wno-return-type -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing  -ffreestanding -o prueba.o pruebse.c

powerpc-elf-ld -T ld.script -o pruebse.x pruebse.o

In the ld.script I have:

PROVIDE (__stack = 0); PROVIDE (___stack = 0);
PROVIDE (__executable_start = 0x100); . = 0x100;

powerpc-750-linux-gnu-objcopy -I elf32-powerpc -O srec --srec-forceS3 --srec-len=32 --set-start 0x0 --adjust-vma 0xf3000000 pruebse.x pruebse.mot

And the program doesn't send anything.

Could anyone help me please?

Sorry for my English.
