Sergei - 

Thank you very much. The .gdbinit script, especially adding to the
device tree did the trick.

Hi

If you do not sure, first try GNU toolchain from eCosCentric
ftp://ecos.ecoscentric.com/pub/ecos/gnutools/i386linux/

Is there something special in PSIM.ecc? First, just try in a fresh dir

  ecosconfig new psim &&
  ecosconfig tree &&
  make && make tests

you have to add a device to ppc device tree

  (gdb) target sim -h

There is the same example in the eCos User Guide
http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/user-guide/setup-ppc-sim.html

So, your .gdbinit file to run eCos tests would be

  $ cat >.gdbinit << EOF
  set confirm no
  define psim  
   target sim -o '/iobus/pal@0xf0001000/reg 0xf0001000 32'  
   rbreak cyg_test_exit  
   rbreak cyg_assert_fail  
  end 
  psim
  load
  run
  EOF

Example of the GDB session

  $ powerpc-eabi-gdb -q install/tests/kernel/current/tests/thread0 
  Connected to the simulator.
  Breakpoint 1 at 0x5b14: file
