PLX IOP-480


Has anyone ported eCos to the IOP-480, which is basically a PPC 401 core + a
PCI controller integrated into  one chip.

Thanks!

No you can't debug redboot itself very easily because even a RAM based
RedBoot will steal most of the exception vectors etc. for itself (as will
any application that has GDB stubs included). And quite right too - you
wouldn't be able to use a RAM based RedBoot to upgrade if it still relied
on the ROM/Flash based one to run.
