When I download the zImage.elf using dow command on XMD, I m not able to access the TLB and cache address special memory mappings as displayed by the XMD. I suspect that XMD only allows the dump for sections inside the elf file. If its true, then how to access the sections of kernel. Could XMD be used to debug a linux kernel by dumping the registers, TLBs, cache entries,etc. Am I missing anything. Any pointers would be very helpful.

Hi All,

I need to dump the TLB entries, i-cache and d-cache entries on a ML-403 board ( I use a PowerPc based design) using the Xilinx Parallel-4 Cable.

I suspect that XMD only allows the dump for sections inside the elf file. If its true, then how to access the sections of kernel.
