Hi, we are developing a custom board based on mpc8260eds board and planning to run linux on it. We require a tool to debug the kernel and ppcboot, if required. I have been following the recent ( and ongoing ) discussions on bdi2000. I have recommended the company to buy bdi2000. The company is considering bdi2000 and powertap. ( AMC Applied Microsystems Corporation's PowerTAP?). I am going through the data sheet of powertap and doing a comparitative study of both products to find out which one is better suited for linux kernel debugging. Frankly we don't need any of the jazz that powertap + MWX-ICE? debugger offers .We will be happy to use GNU tools. One good feature I see in powertap is to examine the contents of the registers. but I am a little pessimistic about the linux kernel debug support on powertap.
If you have any inputs that will help me to decide the product we should buy, please provide them. Thanks and regards, Om. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
