ppc405 kernel debugging

Mon Jun 27 21:05:48 EST 2005

Hi,

I try to boot a linux kernel (2.6.12) on a custom hardware (memec ff1152
board). If I use the xmd tool to download the zImage.elf I have the
following messages :

loaded at:     00400000 0047813C
board data at: 00476124 0047613C
relocated to:  004051D4 004051EC
zimage at:     004059E5 00475A06
avail ram:     00479000 04000000

Linux/PPC load: console=ttyS0,9600 root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp
Uncompressing Linux...done.
Now booting the kernel
closing serial
id mach(): done
MMU:enter
MMU:hw init
MMU:mapin
MMU:setio
ml300_map_io:enter
ml300_map_io:exit
MMU:exit

Starting with uboot I get (uImage) :
Filename 'ubootimage'.
Load address: 0x400000
Loading:

## Booting image at 00400000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-2.6.12-bitsim
   Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
   Data Size:    458785 Bytes = 448 kB
   Load Address: 00000000
   Entry Point:  00000000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
id mach(): done
MMU:enter
MMU:hw init
MMU:mapin

Does somebody know how to go further ?

In xilinx_ml300.c file, it seems that the following call is
start_kernel, but I don't know how to really debug at this point...
I had a try with print_char function but without much success...

I have a very small config file for the kernel, don't know to have a
smaller one...

kernel version : 2.6.12
gcc : 3.3.6
binutils : 2.14

Thanks in advance for any help...
