Problem setting breakpoints with BDI2000

[Rudolf Ladyzhenskii]

Hi, all

I have BDI2000 with software version v1.11
I have problems setting a breakpoint. I am trying to set a breakpoint in the
start_kernel() function to debug misbehaving kernel.
So, at command line I type:
bi 0xXXXXXXXX, where 0xXXXXXXXX is address of start_kernel out of map file.
BDI does not stop there, it passes this breakpoint. IO tried it with HARD
and SOFT breakpoints.

I know that my kernel gets into infinite loop in timer interrupt. So I put a
breakpoint there -- same! Nothing happens.

I tried to connect to BDI with DDD. I can successfully load the kernel and
start the kernel. When it freezes, I can halt BDI2000 and single step the
kernel. I can now use breakpoints freely -- all works.
Basically, if I start kernel, BDI does not react to any of the breakpoints.
It starts to react on them once it was stopped at least once.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
