I think the register definition file (reg8xx.def) is the same, but there seems to be more to the .cnf file than just architecture and board used. That is covered in the [INIT] section. I have that correct or I would not have been able to debug my bootrom using gdb, read/write memory, etc. I can do all that without any problem, and if all I wanted was to debug the bootrom I would be all set.
What I am having trouble with is getting it to download the compressed kernel image. Specifically, I was hoping to see what was in the [TARGET], [FLASH], and [HOST] sections of a correct .cnf file for debugging the kernel. I must either have an offset incorrect, or not have something enabled, or something similar. That seems to be where my problem is....in that dozen or so lines at the end of the cnf file. I know this is a newbie question, and I have read the manual and made several attempts but cannot get it to work, so I was trying to make the inconvenience as small as possible by just asking to see someone's .cnf file and I will figure out my mistake from there.

Oops??? The config file for the BDI2000 depends on the processor architecture and board used, but that's it. You can use the SAME config file both for firmware and for Linux kernel debugging. Make sure you've RTFM about the "MMU XLAT" and the "PTBASE" settings.
