RE: gdb problems / BDM PPCBoot

Just for the record: it works better with the compiler that MontaVista
includes in their 2.0 CDK; no -ggdb needed.

Dear Frederic,

in message [off-list ref] you
wrote:

I also need the -ggdb to debug applications remotely. The MontaVista FAQ
mentions that this is needed due to a problem in the compiler shipped with
CDK 1.2; I suppose it is no longer needed for the recent compilers they
provide.

Well, upgrade to HHL-2.0.2, then...

I am sorry to ask a question that was discussed many times, but to be

honest

I did not find a lot a threads when I search for "ddd", "gdb, "BDM" or
"Abatron". Where do I look?

I'm sorry - I know that the search functions for the mailing list are
pretty useless, but I cannot help it. Please  complain  to  the  list
maintainer.

I have read your mail where you mention:

...
That's exaclty what I do

Forgive me my cluelessness, but the very early code is, _init_board, the
code is still running from flash, right, so just starting with
"powerpc-linux-gdb ppcboot" should work?

Yes, that's what it does for me on all boards.

Hope this helps,

Wolfgang Denk
