I'm running Buildroot Linux on the ARM core, and two bare metal apps on the SHARC+ cores. When I connect with the ICE 1000, using a debug configuration that only loads symbols and attaches to one of the SHARC cores, Linux slows waaaay down, like by a factor of 100 or more. I can still type commands on the serial console, but the response dribbles out slowly. Needless to say, when I run an app on Linux, it also runs slow, which makes it difficult to debug things that communicate between Linux and a SHARC.
The other thing that happens is that when I initially connect, frequently I get a crash in my Linux application. Here is a typical error dump that appears on the console:
Unhandled prefetch abort: debug event (0x002) at 0xffff0008

It's always the same exception, and the code at the LR location is an SVC instruction. (AudioPipe is the name of the app.) Obviously, this makes things undebuggable.
Any ideas on how to solve these two possibly related problems? Does anyone else see either of these?
