Hello,Wolfgang
I'm using u-boot-0.4.8 at Atmel's AT91RM9200-DK machine.Following is information: U-Boot 0.4.8 (Oct 13 2005 - 16:29:32)
U-Boot code: 21F00000 -> 21F13C20 BSS: -> 21F1F9A0 DRAM Configuration: Bank #0: 20000000 64 MB Atmel: AT49BV1614 (16Mbit) Flash: 16 MB In: serial Out: serial Err: serial start linux now(y/n): Uboot>tftp 23000000 zImage Uboot> tftp 20800000 ramdisk.image.gz Uboot> go 23000000
*****I download a image by tftp into board's SDRAM and then start it,just like an old friend say"Now, I wonder if it is possible to start the image under control of gdb. As I understand it, there can run a small 'gdb-stub' on the target which talks by serial line or by ethernet with the gdb on the development host. In common/kgdb.c there seems to be something like this small 'gdb-stub'? Does it work for ARM? How can it be used?"
*********My question is:If I want to add a debugging stub(at91rm9200dk-stub.c or gdbserver)into u-boot-0.4.8,how to do it? Isn't it a difficult task? ************
The following is my U-boot starting linux process infomormation:
