I have to chuckle out loud......
Some time ago, I inquired about using developing on embedded (gentoo)
linux using Eclipse and any sort of TAG/BDM device.
I still remember the (focused) scolding you gave me about how that
was not the *nix way. Command line, burn and churn, etc etc....
As an old (*nix) fart, I rather enjoyed (and agreed with) your prose.
However, the planet is being overrun with young kids that like their
gui-fied tools....
Now you are pointing folks to openocd......?
It was after my visit to the Freescale conference in Orlando, 2007.
I then predicted (learned is more accurate) that many of the vendors
are planning on moving to Eclipse as the support package for
development (BSP: board support packages). It make a lots of sense.
And their FAE's can support Eclipse on a linux or windows platform.
*WOW* What's next?
Maybe we can all agree on a BSP that works well with a JTAG and
Eclipse, and make it an option for Noobs wanting to get into
embedded Gentoo? I think this is an easier sell than GNAP....?
Keeping cost down is a good idea, and my early vote goes for
an Arm9 board.
thoughts?
