| 16 | Eric Norum (eric@@skatter.usask.ca) wrote a driver for a parallel |
|---|
| 17 | port interface to a BDM module. He and Chris John (ccj@@acm.org) |
|---|
| 18 | have put together a package containing everything you need to |
|---|
| 19 | use this. From the README: "This |
|---|
| 20 | package contains everything you need to be able to run GDB on |
|---|
| 21 | Linux and control a Motorola CPU32+ (68360) or Coldfire (5206) target |
|---|
| 22 | through a standard PC parallel port." Information on this is |
|---|
| 23 | available at the following URL: |

|---|
| 26 | The efi332 project has a home-built BDM module and gdb driver for |
|---|
| 27 | Linux. See http://egi332.eng.ohio-state.edu/efi332/hardware.html) |

| 50 | Christian Haan <chn@@intego.de> has written a driver for FreeBSD |
|---|
| 51 | based for"a slightly changed ICD BDM module (because of changes |
|---|
| 52 | in the BDM interface on the PowerPC)" that "probably will work with |
|---|
| 53 | the PD module too." His work is based on the M68K BDM work by |
|---|
| 54 | Gunter Magin (Gunter.Magin@@skil.camelot.de) and |
|---|
| 55 | the PPC BDM for Linux work by Sergey Drazhnikov (swd@@agua.comptek.ru). |

|---|
| 64 | |
|---|
| 65 | GDB includes support for a set of primitives to support the Macraigor |
|---|
| 66 | Wiggler (OCD BDM). Unfortunately, this requires the use of a |
|---|
| 67 | proprietary interface and is supported only on Windows. This forces |
|---|
| 68 | one to use CYGWIN. Reports are that this results in a slow |
|---|
| 69 | interface. Scott Howard (http://www.objsw.com) has announced |
|---|
| 70 | that support for the gdb+wiggler combination under DJGPP which should |
|---|
| 71 | run significantly faster. |
