8.2: MPC8xx BDM Support for GDB

Christian Haan <chn@intego.de> has written a driver for FreeBSD based for"a slightly changed ICD BDM module (because of changes in the BDM interface on the PowerPC)" that "probably will work with the PD module too." His work is based on the M68K BDM work by Gunter Magin (Gunter.Magin@skil.camelot.de) and the PPC BDM for Linux work by Sergey Drazhnikov (swd@agua.comptek.ru). This is not yet publicly available.

Sergey Drazhnikov (swd@agua.comptek.ru) has written a PPC BDM driver for Linux. Information is available at http://cyclone.parad.ru/ppcbdm.

Huntsville Microsystems (HMI) has GDB support for their BDM module available upon request. It is also available from their ftp site: ftp://ftp.hmi.com/pub/gdb

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