Script for BDI2000 for IBM 405EP Eval. Board

Hi all!

I've just start working with the IBM 405EP Evaluation Board. Currently I'm
trying to port the U-Boot boot loader. I use the Abatron BDI2000 as JTAG
interface with the GDB/DDD and I debug the code in the 512kB SRAM that can
be exchanged with the Flash.
Unfortunately the example script (evb405gp.cfg) BDI2000 comes with is
written for the 405GP ev. board (Walnut). I changed it to make it suitable
for the 405EP board that is quite similar to the Walnut. For convenience I
copied mine at the end of the message. I removed a lot of initailizations
in order to simulate the state of the CPU after a reboot.

Since I have some strange behaviours, I think the script could be somehow
wrong.
Here is what happens:
1) Sometimes the processor jumps to 0x700. This usually occurs during the
execution of a printf function or when the CPU executes a mtmsr
instruction. For example there is a mtmsr instruction at the end of
interrupt_init function. I noted that this instruction does not make the
CPU to jump to 0x700 during the first debug session, I mean just after
power up, but it does if I start a new debug session without turning off
and on the board (even the RESET command from telnet nor the reset button
on the board are useful).
2) From telnet I can erase the Flash without any problem, but I can't
complete its programming. The PROG command crashes at a random address.

So my questions are:
1) Anybody encountered similar problems with this board?
2) Anybody can send me a script that is certainly correct?
3) Any other suggestions?

Many thanks in advance.
