it is wired up slightly differently from the gnICE, and the creator of the ICEBear has no interest in supporting open source tools -- he has his own closed source forks of things (perfectly legal as they're BSD and such) that are "faster" and only work with the ICEBear, so he wants people to pay the extra $$$ for it. it should be trivial to use the gnICE examples and maybe switch one or two bits, but since the device is geared towards Blackfin parts, might as well just buy the much cheaper gnICE/gnICE+ ... during early gnICE testing, we did resolder one of the pins on a few ICEBears so that it worked the same as the gnICE and thus "just worked" with the rest of the software stack, but once the gnICE was stable, we havent bothered with the ICEBear since. -mike
