hi- I've just joined this mailing list, and have a few basic questions about PPC embedded developement under Linux.
My application is not to run Linux on the ppc, but to use x86 Linux as a cross-developement platform, thus allowing me to get away from expensive, and substandard wondoze-based environments. I've set up cross-compilers, etc before, so that doesn't scare me too much. In my last job (after a some work) I was able to dump NT, and do all my VxWorks developement under Linux. It made life bearable. My primary concern is how to use GDB (or better yet, DDD) with a PPC board via the DBM port. Is there a Linux tool that permits initial program download, register access, and debugging via the Moto standard PPC BDM port ? If so, I'll push very hard to ensure Linux is the developement platform for our next project- ron flory ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
