hello world working - sort of

[Simon Dismo]

Hi Brendan,
 Before you try any of your own applications you should do a 
sanity check on your BSP by:

1) Run the 'Hello World' sample to test the console driver.
2) Run the 'ticker' sample to test the clock driver.

In mpc8bug/ADS860 all external interrupts are disabled by default, 
try to set 'rms der extie 0' before 'go' to get your 
interrupts working properly. If the 'extie' bit in the
'der' (PowerPC Debug Enable Register) is not cleared then 
any external interrupt will trap back into the debugger.
The address that you get in the debugger when this happens 
is just whatever that gets interrupted by the exception.

The ADS boards have all external tranceivers controlled
via software. These tranceivers are default off when
the board starts. You must write some code to enable
the RS232 tranceiver on SMC1 before you start the console
driver. If you don't have code for this already you
could get something from me. I have a BSP that is not
fully completed for a ADS850 system, i.e. using the
same motherboard as you are. Hello world and ticker
works in my set-up though.

Best Regards
Simon Dismo
