using bdi2000 to debug ppcboot on mpc7455

[Q-ha Park]

Soft breakpoints just don't work for me. I have two BDI tools, and they
behave the same. Not only that, "next", "step", and other commands just
don't work properly.

Here's what I get:
(gdb) add-symbol-file ppcboot 0x1ffc0000
add symbol table from file "ppcboot" at
        .text_addr = 0x1ffc0000
(y or n) y
Reading symbols from ppcboot...done.
(gdb) b board_init_r
Breakpoint 1 at 0x1ffc2cb0: file board.c, line 570.
(gdb) d
Delete all breakpoints? (y or n) y
(gdb) mon bi 0x1ffc2cb0 v
Breakpoint identification is 0

///// I have to use "mon bi" to make the program stop properly.

(gdb) c
Continuing.

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
Cannot remove breakpoints because program is no longer writable.
It might be running in another process.
Further execution is probably impossible.
board_init_r (bd=0x1ff3fffa, dest_addr=536084376) at board.c:570
570     {
------------------------
(gdb) b flash_init
Breakpoint 2 at 0x1ffd4100: file flash.c, line 330.
(gdb) c
Continuing.

Program received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.
Cannot remove breakpoints because program is no longer writable.
It might be running in another process.
Further execution is probably impossible.
board_init_r (bd=0x1ff3fffa, dest_addr=536084376) at board.c:570
570     {

/////// It stopped at board_init_r again..... not flash_init

(gdb) d
Delete all breakpoints? (y or n) y
(gdb) b flash_init
Breakpoint 3 at 0x1ffd4100: file flash.c, line 330.
(gdb) c
Continuing.
warning: Cannot insert breakpoint -1:
Error accessing memory address 0xfff00100: Unknown error 4294967295.
(gdb)

And now I get this. Did anyone go thru something like this?
