Hi, I'm totally new to the world of porting U-Boot (or other boot loaders) to new hardware.
I have an older version of U-Boot (0.4.5) that was ported to 2 custom made boards we have, based on the MPC5200 CPU, and the IceCube evaluation board. Both has the same U-Boot up and running.
We now have a new board, base on the same design, but with some modification.
I have BDI2000 up and running, and I can access the board's memory, flash, cpu registers etc.
When I try to run the same U-boot, it, as can be expected, fails to run, and stop very soon after startup (no message comes out on the serial console).
I've tried to connect with GDB to debug, and I manage to do it, then step few commands, and I get SIGSTOP. To make sure that this is not a problem of the new board, I've tried the same with a working board, and the U-Boot fails at the same place (right after the starting point). On the other hand, if I don't try to do a step by step debugging, but give a "cont" command, the U-boot (on the older board) does work.
So I guess I have a basic problem in understanding how to debug the U-Boot with GDB.
Any help (either specific, or pointers to guides), will be great.
Thanks, Ilan
