Dear Clive After all is said and done, it turns out your original architecture was the issue. Given a new gdb-6.6, cross compiled for ppc, the incantations are:
>From uboot Uboot> setenv bootargs kgdb=ttyS1,115200 kgdbwait <amongstOtherThings> Uboot> tftp 1000000 uImage Uboot> bootm 1000000 $ddd -debugger ppc_85xx-xgdb vmlinux (gdb) set verbose on (gdb) set architecture powerpc:common (gdb) set remotebaud 115200 (gdb) target remote /dev/ttyS0 (gdb) break do_fork (gdb) cont Gdb does break at do_fork. It can break on the next line or continue to the next line with no problem. What it doesn't do is step. When I try to tell it to step, it looks like it never completes the step function. But in any case, Clive, thank you very much for getting me to this point. The next place is to figure out the step command.
