+II) How to debug U-Boot
+
+In order to debug U-Boot you need to start qemu with gdb server support (-s)
+and waiting the connection to start the CPU (-S)
+
+# qemu-system-mips -S -s -M mips -pflash flash -monitor null -nographic
+
+in an other console you start gdb
+
+1) Debugging of U-Boot Before Relocation
+
+Before relocation, the addresses in the ELF file can be used without any problems
+buy connecting to the gdb server localhost:1234
+
+# mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gdb u-boot

+2) Debugging of U-Boot After Relocation
+
+For debugging U-Boot after relocation we need to know the address to which
+U-Boot relocates itself to 0x87fa0000 by default.
+And replace the symbol table to this offset.
