Hi all,
A newbie question. Currently, I am considering using FADS 823/850/860
board for embedded system development. While I was reading the "Linux for
PowerPC Embedded Systems HOWTO" as every newbie did initially, I was
referred to the message written by Dan Malek on 03 Sep 1999 in this
maillist. His oppinion on FADS 8xx is that "I don't recommend using any
(F)ADS board with Linux/PPC." The full message can be viewed at:
http://lists.linuxppc.org/listarcs/linuxppc-embedded/199909/msg00007.html
It has been more than one year since this message was written. I would like
to know has this situation been changed? I need good PCMCIA, ethernet and
UART support, USB support is need in the second stage of development. Any
comments from you guys?
Regards,
Leonard Ye

Hi, everyone,
I'd like to debug multi-thread program on my custon board (MPC860) with remote
debugger.
I'm using cross gdb, gdbserver, and kernel from monta vista, (gdb 4.17, linux
2.2.13)
I test test code on my host PC, it works well. But I doesn't work on target
Just after the new thread being created, gdb displays these message,
17 if (pthread_create(&tid, NULL, sayHello, NULL) )
(gdb) s
Program received signal SIGPWR, Power fail/restart.
0xfee0724 in ?? ()
(gdb)
And the gdb doesn't show thread info, like this
(gdb) info thread
warning: RMT ERROR : failed to get remote thread list
(gdb)
Is it impossible to debug multi-thread with remote-debugging?
I'm looking forward to your helps, thanks.
Have a nice weekend!

Hello Leonard,
I have used the FADS 823 for my needs. I did not have any major problems
with it. But the pro's tell me that it is not a reliable board.
I have also used the TQM823 board from Denx. It is a reliable board and the
support is good. My reason for getting the TQM823 board was that I could use
2 RS-232's. The FADS 823 has a 2nd RS-232 which may be used only if the
ethernet is turned off.
Hope this helps.
