The raphberry pi could be made into a nice device for programming and 
debugging. The graphic sucks so a headless device would be more usefull. 
OpenOcd is too generic, cannot be fast. My approach is a dedicated programmer 
for the PIC32 using the PE from
Microchip. For debugging I would use openocd until I get my gdbproxy working. 
Rasphberry pi is only $35 which is cheaper than JTAG programmers.
Rasphberry Pi is actually very fast if you don't have the X environment to slow 
it down.  Once I manage to get setedit to work on the command line I will no 
longer need the X interface. The latest development on turbo vision seems to 
have locked it into
using X. I am digging into this to uncripple it. What I would like to have is 
something just like we use to have on Dos.

My more interesting project is to have a full development system on an Odroid 
U2 or Odroid X2. The odroid is actually so fast that it rivals with some 
computers. It costs a little more, an Odroid U2 is $85, still cheaper than most 
JTAG programmers.
