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

["Tom Curran" <tcurran@ultsol.com>]

Yes, that is indeed correct.  The firmware licensing for the Abatron
emulators is done by processor family, not individual processor.  So in the
case of the PPC82xx, the same firmware for debugging with GDB will cover the
entire range of PPC6xx/7xx/7400,7410,5200, and 82xx processors.

I'm guessing most people would recommend the BDI2000.  If I remember
correctly they end up doing support based on 'Family'.  So support for
85xx is one family, 82xx is another, 8xx a third.
