+BEDBUG Support for U-Boot
+--------------------------
+
+These changes implement the bedbug (emBEDded deBUGger) debugger in U-Boot.
+A specific implementation is made for the AMCC 405 processor but other flavors
+can be easily implemented.
+
+#####################
+### Modifications ###
+#####################
+
+./common/Makefile
+ Included cmd_bedbug.c and bedbug.c in the Makefile.
+
+./common/command.c
+ Added bedbug commands to command table.
+
+./common/board.c
+ Added call to initialize debugger on startup.
+
+./arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/Makefile
+ Added bedbug_405.c to the Makefile.
+
+./arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/start.S
+ Added code to handle the debug exception (0x2000) on the 405.
+ Also added code to handle critical exceptions since the debug
+ is treated as critical on the 405.
+
+./arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/traps.c
+ Added more detailed output for the program exception to tell
+ if it is an illegal instruction, privileged instruction or
+ a trap. Also added debug trap handler.
+
+./include/ppc_asm.tmpl
+ Added code to handle critical exceptions
