[U-Boot] U-Boot software debug tools ?

Dear Sir from U-Boot,
This is Bill from Taiwan, we are currently working on a board that runs Freescale iMX53 CPU and using U-Boot as our bootloader.
As we are moving into source codes and start reading start.S, we eagerly want to know what software tools do you use in implementing and debugging Stage1 assembly codes?
Far as our experiences, we used to go with ADS1.2 to check r0~r15 status line by line;
May you kindly let us know if there is a recommend to do so in Linux or Windows, thank you very much!
Regards

The standard debug tool here is the Abatron BDI3000 in combination with GDB (eventually combined with the GUI of your choice).

Hi Bill,
You can use ARM's DSTREAM with DS-5 (bare metal version) or gdb. It is a (much) newer version of ADS1.2 and Multi-ICE. It runs on Linux and Windows.
