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... > First, I'd like to use the BDM to download the kernel; is > there any tools?

But I don't know of a solution for the 860 or 8260 that does not take a few k$.
