Hi Matthias, I am going to use u-boot alone for my development. Which debugger is suitable for debugging u-boot and initial board bringup activity? My choice is BDI2000. Is it ok. Also tell me what toolchains need to be used. Is ELDK supports? Whether the video driver is available on u-boot ? -Thirumalai

Hi Matthias, We are using MB86R01 processor in our design. We just want to know what emulator/debugger can be used for initial board bring-up activity and also whether the latest u-boot(2010.03) is supporting this processor ?

I recently posted a patch series adding support for MB86R01 to u-boot. I did not receive any comments on V2 so I thinks its more or less fine and I hope it will be merged within the upcoming merge window.

See http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2010-May/071097.html for the initial mail of the patch series.

I am using a BDI2000 (http://www.abatron.ch/products/bdi-family.html) for initial flash programming. A Segger JLink (http://www.segger.com/cms/jlink.html) works also.

Hope this helped.

Yes. As I said. But I never used it to debug u-boot together together with GDB. After the serial console was up I used printf-like debugging. And before that point I could live quite good with simple BDI commands.

Whether source level debugging is possible with BDI2000?

...

I don't know. I used a toolchain which I build myself using crosstools-ng (see http://freshmeat.net/projects/crosstool-ng/)

Check my patch series and you will see ;-)

I will check and tell this.

Matthias
