GDB BDM on linux for a 68332

[James Fitzsimons]

Hi all,
Sorry to post this slightly off topic post, but I figured someone on this
list can probably help me.

I am trying to setup debugging of my 68332 board with GDB and a BDM cable on
a linux host, but so far I can't get the test programs for the BDM driver to
complete successfully. When I run either the chk or cpu32-check programs (in
the test directory for the BDM driver) I get the following error:

[james at Mandrake test]$ ./cpu32-check /dev/bdmcpu320
BDM Driver Version : 2.a
Processor  : CPU32
Interface  : Eric's CPU32
Register test,    1 of    1 :

Initializing target
MBAR readback failed: No BDM error (yet!)

I tried ignoring this and running gdb anyway, but it complains about the
following command in my .gdbinit script:

set $sfc=5

I am guessing that these problems are related.

Can anyone provide me with some advice/suggestions on what the problem might
be?

Thanks very much,
