[ELDK] BDI-2000 debugging

[Anthony Jones]

I am using ELDK 4.2 and trying to debug my 2.6.24.2 kernel
using a BDI-2000 on an MPC852T. I can step through the
kernel before it initialises the MMU but not after (see
below). The kernel is working OK but I can't get the
debugging to work. I have set both CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y and
CONFIG_BDI_SWITCH=y.

I think this is the relevant section of the BDI config file:

[TARGET]
CPUCLOCK    50000000            ;the CPU clock rate after
processing the init list
BDIMODE     AGENT               ;the BDI working mode
(LOADONLY | AGENT)
BREAKMODE   HARD                ;SOFT or HARD, HARD uses PPC
hardware breakpoints
MMU         XLAT                ;translate effective to
physical address
PTBASE      0x000000f0

I'm using firmware 1.13 and logic version 1.02

I'm not sure what else I need to check.
