Oh. I hope this question is not off topic in this mailing list:u-boot.
I'm new to BDI2000, and after reading a manual that came with the tool,
I tried to debug ppcboot using bdi2000 and gdb. The problem is I just
can't set the breakpoint whether be it software or hardware breakpoint;
For example, when I set the break point at "boot_cold" and type
"continue", the program just runs without ever stopping at the
breakpoint where it's supposed to stop!
Here's what I did:
a. turn on bdi2000.
b. connect to bdi2000 in gdb session.
c. set the breakpoint
d. type "continue"
==========
90 li r21, BOOTFLAG_COLD /* Normal Power-On: Boot
from FLASH */
(gdb) l
85 .ascii CONFIG_IDENT_STRING, "\0"
86
87 . = EXC_OFF_SYS_RESET
88 .globl _start
89 _start:
90 li r21, BOOTFLAG_COLD /* Normal Power-On: Boot
from FLASH */
91 b boot_cold
92 sync
93
94 . = EXC_OFF_SYS_RESET + 0x10
(gdb) b boot_cold
Breakpoint 1 at 0xfff02000: file
/home/users/qpark/hobby/ppcboot-1.1.6/cpu/74xx_7xx/start.S, line 253.
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
(continues for good...)
==========
What am I probably doing wrong? FYI, I tried to remove H/W breakpoint
before I entered "go"
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
