Re: 750/107 CHRP question

Dear Richard,

My understanding is that more than just a static  mapping  is  needed
for full MMUP support.

You are correct. Only the kernel and drivers statically linked can be
easily debugged. It could be possible to debug modules but since the
addresses change every time you load them it would not be practical. You
would have to edit the symbol files (*.ab) each time.

Thanks for confirming this.

For complete MMU handling the debugger would need to know where to find
the mapping tables and remap it's symbol info. None of our debuggers can
do that yet.

Are there any plans to add such support?


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Very good question. Unfortunately I do not know the answer. :(
