use bdi on board with ppcbug

use bdi on board with ppcbug

[于婧]

hi!
  I want to debug the kernel on the motorola lopec p011 board with bdi tools.
And the first thing I must solve is to let the ppcbug "go" under the bdi control.But  I don't know where the entry of ppcbug is,so I can't "go" the ppcbug.Has anybody know that?Or,the ppcbug can not be run under this circumstances?

  Wait for your reply?
  Thanks in advance!

Just type "reset", followed by "go".

Like any other boot loader, ppcbug will strat right  from  the  reset
vector.

This depends on the hardware. On many boards a minimal initialization
MUST be performed (like switching off the watchdog timer :-)

Wouldn't it be the PowerPC reset address - 0xFFF00100?

0xFFF00100 is just one out of several possibilities, depending on CPU
type and system configuration.

Re: use bdi on board with ppcbug

[pat_etc]

to see where your boot code starts:

at the BDI prompt the command:
reset halt  <enter>
followed by the command
info  <enter>

BDI responds with:

    Target state      : debug mode
    Debug entry cause : debug port nonm
    maskable breakpoint
   Current PC        : 0xfff00100

current pc is where your boot code starts
hope this helps

hi!
    Thanks a lot! I know the where the entry of ppcbug is,but by testing not regular operation.My board's ppcbug entry is 0xfff04000,is it strange?
     And another question:when I use bdi2000 to debug the kernel,if I use 'next'command, the kernel will run until the end of the kernel(that is the whole start procedure).But the normal situation should be excuting a single instruction!Can anybody tell me Why?
     Thanks in advance
