I've owned one of their units for several years, bought it with my own money (which says a lot, since I'm a freelancer!). And I've brought a few obscure issues to them over the years, all of which were addressed to my satisfaction. The BDI2000 has been solid, significantly easier to setup and more reliable in use than several other systems I've tried. One thing to keep in mind is that they're really constrained by not having intimate knowledge of _your_ platform. If your memory bus configuration is wrong, for example, there isn't a whole lot that they can do to rule that out from their end since they don't have your hardware. JTAG in general gets easily tripped up with power problems, etc. that are a natural part of untested circuits. If this stuff was easy, we'd have to find work elsewhere! >And no, I don't get a kickback from them... :) > > Me neither. But if someone from Abatron has an unused unit sitting around, I sure could use one! :) b.g. -- Bill Gatliff [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
