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.
