Hi Chris,

I'm not sure how to relate the "exception N" messages from RTEMS to the 
exceptions listed in the Xilinx PowerPC Reference Guide.  This is just a 
wild guess, but I'm guessing this is the mapping - is this correct?  Do 
you or someone else know what is, if this is wrong?

Exception          Vector Offset   RTEMS ID
Critical Input        0x0100           1
Machine Check         0x0200           2
Data Storage          0x0300           3
Instruction Storage   0x0400           4
External              0x0500           5
Alignment             0x0600           6
Program               0x0700           7
FPU Unavailable       0x0800           8
System Call           0x0c00           ?
APU Unavailable       0x0f20           ?
Prog. Interval Timer  0x1000           ?
Fix Interval Timer    0x1010           ?
Watchdog Timer        0x1020           ?
Data TLB Miss         0x1100           ?
Instruction TLB Miss  0x1200           ?
Debug                 0x2000           ?

If I _did_ guess right, then I don't know what exception 0 is!

No, exact same tools.

Suppose so, I'll try, but I don't really know PowerPC assembly - yet!  
;-)  
Suppose it's time to learn...
