Re: [ECOS] MPC860 (Debugging ISR)

Gary,

I am trying to build a tester (intr0.c) on the same lines as powerpc/arch/v2_0/test but interrupt chain does not get called. Halting with wiggler, control shows up in the default ISR but control never makes it to C land.

Ran into a seperate thread "Re: how does GDB set breakpoint to MPC860" which is helpful and I'll certainly give gdb a try. There probably is nothing wrong with the default ISR and the source of the problem most likely would be my platform initialization thats preventing the generic ISR to work the way it is supposed to.

Thanks in advance
Nirmal
