I agree with Ron. JTAG debuggers are more robust. But I am interested in stepping through LinuxBIOS on a working target to quickly understand the code, so I'm able to attempt a port to a new target. I view it as a learning tool and a productivity tool. If you could show people how to use a product like the American Arium, you might get more help.

There are a host of cpu failures you can detect with a jtag interface that gdb stubs are useless for. GDB stubs requires that the processor be basically sane, jtag interfaces are not near as picky. ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
