Hi, I'am working with a MPC855T PowerPC microprocessor and i try to debug my soft using ICE/BDM. My application raises a "Software Emulation" exception that is catched by emulator and i would like to know which software instruction raised this exception but SRR0 register is 0 (zero). This register should contain the last instruction before exception ? should it not ? Is it possible to get others informations after an exception ? Information like "call stack frames" ? thank you for your help Gil

To the OP: did you ever find answers? To anyone/everyone who sees this: I have an avocent cyclades alterpath ACS8 ((ATP0120-001) the processor is of course the venerable MPC855T and it has test points clearly labeled BDM but I haven't been able to find any information as to connecting to this interface with the end goal being installation of a different linux kernel/distro or at least learning what I can in the process. If anyone has any information please let me know. -- river@xenador-hermes.com
