MontaVista has a boot rom with minimal debug support. It is what
I used to do the initial port. I will soon add the XMON and KGDB
support just like the 8xx has.

I am not a fan of the JTAG/COP/BDM tools because once the kernel
starts up they just get in the way. There is a small window of tough
debugging between jumping to the kernel and starting a serial port for
KGDB, and once past that I just use remote GDB. Since the kernel already
boots way past that point, and none of this is board dependent, you
should only need a Linux development host. Here, I prefer using the
native PowerPC Linux hosts (I like my iMac :-), and MontaVista has
cross tools for other platforms available.
