I hope this gives the answer to make a better pick between BDI and Metrowerks... And this is not off topic
As the debugger is not only for u-boot but debugging the kernel on this architecture... -- Atul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P.S: Our destiny is in our hands...

It might be enough for simple debug operation but they should Have put a 100Mbps link to put it on a shared network. For an isolated network configuration, it should suffice... The Metrowerks debugger is USB 2.0 based, so on a isolated network and faster data throughput for easy symbol/code cross referencing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Atul Sabharwal c/o Azad.

Not sure if you can sample the processor instruction stream over the JTAG chain as its too slow. You could use a logic analyzer or an in-circuit emulator to capture all signals. The power pc has a SIU to pass the instruction stream for a logic analyzer to use... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Atul Sabharwal c/o Azad.

The debug interface is windows based and more user friendly than Ddd on Linux. Take your pick as a commercial product would be better than an opensource product till it has been perfected (i.e. customized, all bugs fixed and usability issues resolved). And no service from the community on occasion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Atul Sabharwal c/o Azad.

BDI2000 or windriver visionclick, which one do you prefer? is step by step code tracing possible? thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
