From 70b8f3ed6d2e4536c2e60ea04236a64927c6dbfc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joel Sherrill Date: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 15:52:22 +0000 Subject: Added information on hardware to aid in debugging. Primarily this is information on gdb and bdm for the MPC8xx, MC683xx, and ColdFire. --- doc/FAQ/hwdebugaids.t | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 59 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'doc/FAQ/hwdebugaids.t') diff --git a/doc/FAQ/hwdebugaids.t b/doc/FAQ/hwdebugaids.t index e3d9eafa5a..d22b0d3a44 100644 --- a/doc/FAQ/hwdebugaids.t +++ b/doc/FAQ/hwdebugaids.t @@ -13,7 +13,65 @@ debugging assistants that are available. @section MC683xx BDM Support for GDB -@section MC683xx BDM Support for GDB +Eric Norum (eric@@skatter.usask.ca) wrote a driver for a parallel +port interface to a BDM module.
