Hi,
I have problem in flash_init() to get correct manufacturer's ID. So I want to debug the function.
Once I set a breakpoint at flash_init() and issue a continue command, gdb always shows that the program stops at 0x0000070c, which means a program exception. A program exception can be caused by an illegal instruction, a privileged instruction, or a trap. I don't know which caused this exception in my case. I'm wondering it may not be u-boot itself but the way I'm debugging that caused this exception. So I attached the whole procedure I did, not very much long. Would anybody give me some hints? Thanks a lot.
-Shawn.
