When I perform a "load" on gdb the output is: >Loading section .text, size 0x742c lma 0x800000 >Loading section .rodata, size 0x175c lma 0x807430 >Loading section .data, size 0x1b6c lma 0x809000 >Start address 0x800000 , load size 42740 >Transfer rate: 170960 bits/sec, 502 bytes/write. So the image area is not downloaded, I am assuming this is the cause of the error. This are the steps I am executing: - start gdb using arch/ppc/boot/zvmlinux - set gdb to work with a remote target (bdi2000) - load the program (produced the above messages) - run the program Other info: custom board running on a MPC750 What I am doing wrong?? Does the image (vmlinux) should be downloaded apart from the bootloader? How I told gdb or bdi2000 to download the image area? Is there is a common recipe for this procedure?
