The early boards I used didn't have much of a monitor, so I always
used JTAG.
The main problem is the Wind tools assume the monitor is in the on-board
flash, and the SIMM is a flash disk. If you power up the board, the
monitor will re-write the SIMM into something it understands, so you
can't put code out there and expect it to survive (at least with the
recent versions I have seen). If you can convince the on-board monitor
the flash the local part, well, you get one chance at PPCBoot :-).
Buy an Abatron BDI2000. You can use it for lots of things, including
programming/debugging PPCBoot and the Linux kernel once you get to
that point. It's worth every penny if you place any value on your
time.
