gdb via BDM or Ethernet?

[Mike Moran]

Vaughan,

Like I said, the BDM hardware is certainly not free.
However, I have attached the two files that allow you
to build a powerpc-eabi-gdb.

The remote-estppc.c file goes in the gdb-4.17/gdb
directory. The ppc-sim.mt file goes in the
gdb-4.17/gdb/config/powerpc directory.

When you connect to the BDM, use the
"target estppc hostname" command...
Or something like that...

peace,
mike
