MPC56xx / PowerPC table lookup examples?

If a custom kernel was made to read the flash and then write back to it, then it could be added to a flashing application.
Biggest part is making the kernel.

Its usually best to look at what the GM one does, then create from that. These usually have the complex needed parts done for you (unlock flash, erase ect), the actual writing and reading memory is the easy part.

I may have fixed it.

You can change the processor language for an existing project. It's irreversible, so they recommend you back up your project file before you do it. I switched from "PPC big endian 32 bit" to "PPC big endian 64 bit VLE with 32 bit addressing". The code block disassembles now.

EFSCMPGT is apparently Floating-Point Single-Precision Compare Greater Than.

Are these: =>DAT_00089100 your annotations?

It looks to me like Ghidras built in default naming convention, eg for a function its FUN_address and for a data address reference its DAT_address, similar to IDA using subroutine SUB_address, and you have the option to rename them to something more meaningful as you figure it out.
