Re: JTAG debuggers for Motorola 8xx/82xx/85xx

["Mark Chambers" <markc@mail.com>]

Andrew,

I went down this same path!  No, the 5200 JTAG is quite different from 8xx
and a little different from 8xxx so no version of the Wiggler will work,
although Macraigor says they are planning to support 5200 soon.

When I was evaluating the 5200Lite I used the Motorola boot to load
zImage.elf, and that let me play with linux.

I hope Greenhills and Metrowerks are listening - their debuggers are
unusable in IMHO.  As a hardware designer I'm typically the guy who
recommends a debugger to the programmers, so if they don't have a tool that
lets you poke around without a whole project structure, they're not going to
get my vote.

So, another win for BDI, I guess.
