Motorola PRPMC800A/IH5, PrPMC800/800ET Processor PMC Module manual Using PPCBug

5 PPCBug

25.Verifies the configuration data that is resident in NVRAM, and displays a warning message if the verification failed.

26.Calculates and displays the MPU clock speed, verifies that the MPU clock speed matches the configuration data, and displays a warning message if the verification fails.

27.Displays the BUS clock speed, verifies that the BUS clock speed matches the configuration data, and displays a warning message if the verification fails.

28.Probes PCI bus for supported network devices.

29.Probes PCI bus for supported mass storage devices.

30.Initializes the memory/IO addresses for the supported PCI bus devices.

31.Executes Self-Test, if so configured. (Default is no Self-Test.)

32.Extinguishes the board fail LED, if Self-Test passed, and outputs any warning messages.

33.Executes boot program, if so configured. (Default is no boot.)

34.Executes the debugger monitor (issues the PPC7-Bug>prompt).

Using PPCBug

PPCBug is command-driven; it performs its various operations in response to commands that you enter at the keyboard. When the PPC7-Bugprompt appears on the screen, the debugger is ready to accept debugger commands. When the PPC7-Diagprompt appears on the screen, the debugger is ready to accept diagnostics commands. To switch from one mode to the other, enter SD.

What you enter is stored in an internal buffer. Execution begins only after you press the Return or Enter key. This allows you to correct entry errors, if necessary, with the control characters described in the PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manual.

After the debugger executes the command, the prompt reappears. However, if the command causes execution of user target code (for example GO) then control may or may not return to the debugger, depending on what the user program does. For example, if a breakpoint has been specified, control returns to the debugger when the breakpoint is encountered during execution of the user program. Alternately, the user program could return to the debugger by means of the System Call Handler routine RETURN. For more about this, refer to the GD, GO, and GT command descriptions in the PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manual.

A debugger command is made up of the following parts:

❏The command name, either uppercase or lowercase (for example, MD or md).

❏Any required arguments, as specified by command.

❏At least one space before the first argument. Precede all other arguments with either a space or comma.

❏One or more options. Precede an option or a string of options with a semicolon (;). If no option is entered, the command’s default option conditions are used.
