BDM for MPC860

BDM for MPC860

[Claude Robitaille]

Hi,

I've search the net but I couldn't find anything supporting
the BDM on an MPC8xx. I found a driver for Coldfire and for
CPU32.

First, I'd like to use the BDM to download the kernel; is
there any tools? Eventually, I would also like to debug 
applications and eventually the kernel.

Thanks

Claude

Well, of course there are lots of tools - commercial  ones.  See  for
instance  PowerTAP  by Applied Microsystems (www.amc.com), Trace32 by
Lauterbach (www.lauterbach.de), visionPROBE by EST (www.estc.com)  or
BlackBird  by  SDS  (www.sdsi.com)  [there  are some other vendors as
well, and usually there is more than one solution from each of  those
vendors]. Be prepared to hear prices in the 5...10 k$ range.

But I guess you  are  looking  for  a  (cheap)  hardware  probe  that
cooperates  nicely  with  some of the common freeware debugging tools
like GDB? This is something I'm looking for, too...

With one of the above tools those things can be  done.  But  I  don't
know of a solution for the 860 or 8260 that does not take a few k$.

It is impractical for  the  standard  to  attempt  to  constrain  the
behavior  of code that does not obey the constraints of the standard.
