1 BEDBUG Support for U-Boot
2 --------------------------
3
4 These changes implement the bedbug (emBEDded deBUGger) debugger in U-Boot.
5 A specific implementation is made for the AMCC 405 processor but other flavors
6 can be easily implemented.

12 ./common/Makefile
13         Included cmd_bedbug.c and bedbug.c in the Makefile.
14
15 ./common/command.c
16         Added bedbug commands to command table.
17
18 ./common/board.c
19         Added call to initialize debugger on startup.

21 ./arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/Makefile
22         Added bedbug_405.c to the Makefile.
23
24 ./arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/start.S
25         Added code to handle the debug exception (0x2000) on the 405.
26         Also added code to handle critical exceptions since the debug
27         is treated as critical on the 405.

29 ./arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/traps.c
30         Added more detailed output for the program exception to tell
31         if it is an illegal instruction, privileged instruction or
