[gnu.gcc.help] gcc/gdb for Motorola 68332. Info request

hoyt@plains.NoDak.edu (Dean Hoyt) (02/12/91)

This may have been asked about in the past but I am a recent joiner
of this group.  If it has been asked then just point me to the results.
If not here goes.
I am a graduate student at North Dakota State University and am starting
to work with the Motorola 68332 chip.  I am using GNU gcc and will be using
GNU gdb.  What I am wondering is if anybody has already written the machine
description for the 68332 yet?  Also has anybody tried to make gdb work with
the background debugging mode in the 68332.  I am planning on working on this
to provide a method of minimum impact debugging on the target system while
using publicly available tools.

I know that Motorola offers a similar system for use on an PC or clone.
The project I am looking at will use UNIX work stations as the support 
platform for the processors.  I will be using gcc as a cross compiler.

So any information on ports of GNU gcc, gas, and gdb to the 68332 would
be nice to have.  If I get responses I will summarize and post the results
to the net.

Thank you in advance.
