Hi, Yes I've read it, but when I try this (on the older board, where the u-boot is working), the gdb doesn't stop at that function, just continue (and over the serial terminal, I see the normal u-boot messages, and later auto booting into linux).
Here is the screen dump of what I've done:
U-Boot $ powerpc-linux-gdb u-boot GNU gdb 5.3 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. GDB is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions. Type "show copying" to see the conditions.

(gdb) c Continuing.
and I don't get the GDB prompt back unless I press CTRL+C.
Any idea?
Thanks, Ilan

So I guess I have a basic problem in understanding how to debug the U-Boot with GDB.
Did you read the "Debugging" section in the manual?
