Re: Progress - new problem

Dear Sébastien,

Oops? Why do you think this makes debugging more complicated? I don't
care where something is mapped, it's  the  job  of  the  debugger  to
resolve those addresses, isn't it?

Yes, the debugger should do it but ours don't.  Also, I haven't found a way

Then convert it into a doorstop, and get a real debugger.

I strongly recommend the BDI2000  by  Abatron  (see  www.abatron.ch).
Send me a message when you want a quote for it.

to tell it to load the kernel image at address 0 even if the linking was
done for address 0xc0000000.  So I have to load the kernel with another

You can't specify any load offsets? Oh dear. Get a real debugger!

Are you really trying to run in little-endian mode? Really???
You are not supposed to do that.

Yes, really!  I don't see why I shouldn't do that.  The kernel itself seems
to be running fine (no panic, it goes to the scheduler).  My only problem
right now is to load executables and I'm not sure it's endian related.

Be assured that this will not remain the only problem. From all I know,
the PowerPC version of Linux is a big-endian kernel by design.

Check out http://www.abatron.ch/News/news.html. The latest version of
the firmware, V1.07 supports the MPC7400.
