I also encountered problems because the RiscWatch doesn't give you as much control over the initialization it does to the processor. The bottom line for me is that it is *way* nicer to use ddd on top of gdb debugging a kernel built with -ggdb using the Abatron. RiscTrace should give you the advantage of being able to see the past execution of your code, but in practice, I never found it very useful. Scott ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
