The PPCBug consists of three parts:
❏
A command-driven, user-interactive software debugger, described
in the PPCBug Firmware Package User’s Manual, listed in
Appendix C, Related Documentation
. It is also referred to as the
debugger or PPCBug.
❏
A command-driven diagnostics package for the MCP750HA
hardware, also referred to as the diagnostics. The diagnostics
package is described in the PPCBug Diagnostics Manual.
❏
A user interface or debug/diagnostics monitor that accepts
commands from the system console terminal.
When using the PPCBug, you operate out of either the debugger directory
or the diagnostic directory.
❏
If you are in the debugger directory, the debugger prompt
<
PPC1(A)-Bug>
is displayed and you have all of the debugger
commands at your disposal.
❏
If you are in the diagnostic directory, the diagnostic prompt
<
PPC1(A)-Diag>
is displayed and you have all of the diagnostic
commands at your disposal as well as all of the debugger
commands.
Use the SD command to switch back and forth between these directories.
Because PPCBug is command-driven, it performs its various operations in
response to user commands entered at the keyboard. When you enter a
command, PPCBug executes the command and the prompt reappears.
