how to dump other regs via abatron-bdi / gdb ?

how to dump other regs via abatron-bdi / gdb ?

[Mark Pilon]

I'm accustomed to printing general purpose registers: print $r0
and the like --

bringing up a board (before establishing an exception vector table)
I'm getting some unknown exception -- how do I print the ESR (and
other SPRs for that matter ) ??

I'm using montavista ppc_4xx-gdb -- GNU gdb 5.0 and abatron bdi/gdb:
BDI Type : BDI2000 (SN: 93170608)
Loader   : V1.04
Firmware : V1.05 bdiGDB for PPC400
Logic    : V1.01 PPC400

I suspect the problem is an incomplete bdi board config file,
but it'd help to be able to figure out what's missing ...

thanks,

Mark

If all is configured correctly, you can just do:
  BDI>rd esr
  esr : 0x00000000  0
If not, but you know the SPR number, you can just do:
  BDI>rdspr 0x3d4
  SPR  980 : 0x00000000            0

The BDI came with a file called reg405gp.def.  This file contains the
mappings from names to spr/dcr numbers.  Make sure it is in your tftp
directory and then make sure you have something like:
  [REGS]
  IDCR1	0x010	0x011	;MEMCFGADR and MEMCFGDATA
  IDCR2	0x012	0x013	;EBCCFGADR and EBCCFGDATA
  IDCR3	0x014	0x015	;KIAR and KIDR
  FILE	reg405gp.def
in your config file.  BOOT your BDI and you should then be set.
