how to start the kernel using bdm?

Apr 11, 2005 0 Replies

Hello, I have a powerpc board in which I have the processor and sdram working, and not much else.



While the hardware guys work on getting flash and the other devices working, I would like to start getting linux up.



It was fairly easy to get a kernel built, but what steps do I have to take to load it into ram through a bdm cable? The bdm cable works with gdb.



I can download the image without problem...however, if I point the program counter to something like start_kernel, I just go off into the weeds.



Thanks for any help and examples.
