Re: gdb support for ppcbug


PPCBUG is one of the supported ROM monitors in the PowerPC version of
gdb. It's built in to gdb, you don't have to do anything special to use
it. Just enter the gdb command 'target ppcbug <port>', where <port> is
the name of the serial port that is connected to the Power PC board.
