We are still struggling to boot one with mainline Linux, using uboot provided by Thomas which skips SDRAM init. It is not clear to me if u-boot is strictly necessary. It depends if Linux relies on it to do some pre-initialization of HW. I guess once we find a good DTS for it, or not, we can take a decision.FWIW, seems like this tarball contains a dts for a "taihushui" 405ep board:https://dev.archive.openwrt.org/raw-attachment/ticket/4153/kolsch.tranzeo.openwrt.bsp.tar.bz2... I wonder whether that's the same board as the "taihu" board in QEMU?The corresponding ticket has some info on the machine: https://dev.archive.openwrt.org/ticket/4153.html
Ok, so as far as I got that now, Taihu was a board by AMCC, while Taihushui was from Tranzeo ? ... so they were likely different boards, I think.
I wonder what ref405ep was then, an earlier or later or different version?
According to hw/ppc/ppc405_boards.c, the ref405ep machine was a reference board by IBM, not from AMCC ?
