Subj: Looking for the PPC gdb debug stubs
In your 9/99 article in Embedded Systems Programming, you hint
about the Power PC gdb debug stubs being in progress. Can you
provide with any details like:
- Is the effort complete?
- If so, where can I find the PPC gdb debug stubs?
- Who are the people involved with the activity,
and how can I get in touch with them?
Our initial hardware target is the EST SBC8260 board. The MPC8260
supports a COP/JTAG port. I wondered if gdb has or is the progess
of supporting the MPC8260 Macraigor Wiggler? From the gdb version
4.18 source code, it appears that gdb supports the MPC860
Macraigor Wiggler.
Note: The MPC860 and MPC8260 Wigglers are very different animals.

I have posted my attempt at a portable debugging stub on ESPs Web
site, at ftp://ftp.mfi.com/pub/espmag/1999/gdb. This source code
has been compiled and tested for the Hitachi SH-2, and ports are
underway for the Hitachi H8, Power PC, and other processors.
