Since Linux on the PowerPC is becoming a very popular platform for embedded systems developers, it would be nice if one of the embedded Linux companies devoted some resources to implement this feature. What do people use for heavy duty debugging of such systems? Are things like Linux Trace Toolkit ( http://www.opersys.com/LTT/ ) viable options? Thanks. -- Craig Rodrigues http://www.gis.net/~craigr rodrigc@mediaone.net
