Technically speaking, the Wiggler should do just fine. However, I don't know what sort of software comes with it. I think I remember it's pretty expensive (some 400 $ ?) and for Windoze only. > Can you recommend some flash program ? For the Wiggler? Sorry, I have no idea. The cheapest solution is probably the BDM4GDB parallel port adapter, see bdm4gdb.sourceforge.net (if you cannot build the adapter yourself, we sell adapters at production cost - less than $ 50 [which includes a CD-ROM with pre-build GDB]). But please be aware that, depending on the type of flash chips and the interface (8/16/32 bit) used, there is a certain risk that you may have to modify the flash programming code a bit to make it work with your board.
