BDI2000 and failed MMU translations

[Gessner, Matt]

Ok,

This still doesn't solve my problem.

In the Makefile:
	CONFIG_KERNEL = -g -ggdb

In mpc860.cnf for the bdi:
	MMU XLAT 0xc0000000 (this is the default BTW)
	PTBASE	0xf0
	BREAK SOFT

On the BDI:
	bi 0xc0157640 (start_kernel)
	go
	<breakpoint>

Now, start gdb w/ vmlinux
(gdb) target remote bdi:2001
(gdb) br scc_enet_init

On the BDI it says:
*** MMU: address translation for 0xC015ECB8 failed
(gdb) c
Continuing.
warning: Cannot insert breakpoint 1:
Error accessing memory address 0xc015ecb8: Operation not permitted

I'm using gdb 5.0.

Does this shed any more light?

TIA Dan and all,

Regards,

Matt
