I'm trying to debug a kernel lockup that occurs on my machine with all kernel
versions >2.6.16. I don't have a clue what the root cause of this lockup is,
thus I'm thinking about using a hardware debugger. Can anybody recommend a
reasonably cheap hardware debugger that works with G4 CPUs and can interact
with GDB/DDD?

Abatron BDI-2000.

Does anyone have the detailed doc needed to implement the software for
a PPC hardware debugger? Dominic, the author of OpenOCD, has said he
will take a look at adding PPC support if someone can supply him with
the right doc.

I've requested it from my Freescale rep. They sent me all of the
hardware info but none of the software info. They can't seem to figure
out what I'm asking for.
