I offer our solution to the problem as an additional data point. I added a command
to the boot rom code that downloads a file to any supplied address via tftp then jumps to that address plus 0x1000. The offset of 0x1000 is to get over the ELF header. In this case, I leave the the LINUX build environment alone and still get a quick boot turnaround. The commercial BDM/JTAG debuggers are almost worthless after the MMU is enabled. Only in a "after the fact" case are they of any use. We, collectively, need to continue to bellyache to the vendors about the short coming....... cheers -- tarr -- Steve Tarr tarr at lucent.com 303-538-4056 ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
