Hi, This looks very good. I have a couple of questions. I see on their web site that they offer a product called bdiRDI which allows you to use a source level debugger. I didn't see that they sell any source level debugger. What do you folks use as a source level debugger? Cost is an issue, however, I don't want to sacrifice quality and features too much.
Did you purchase or obtain your source debugging application elsewhere? Or do you use GDB? I haven't use that before. I'm used to a source level debugger I believe.
thanks, Steve --------

Hi, This question is related to U-boot; in particular debugging in a U-boot environment.
I am working on U-boot for the first time as well as working with the Atmel AT91SAM9 processor. I am used to working with emulators when debugging low level code such as embedded diagnostics.
I've never used the Atmel till now. In the past, I've worked with many PowerPCs, Freescale, and Microchip processors. All have had various emulators such as Microchip's ICD2, and with PowerPC I've used VisionClick, CodeTap, etc.
Can anyone suggest a good JTAG-based emulator with a good Windows or Linux-based debugger? Microchip's tools were very inexpensive and pretty powerful. PowerPC's were a bit more expensive. I need something where I can build U-boot with its makefiles, that we all know and love, load the code into flash and/or ram, set breakpoints, single-step, look at variables, look at C-source code, registers, possibly an IDE/editor, etc.
You will have 2 good ICE with multiple ARCH support PEEDI from Ronetix (with dataflash, NAND and OneNAND support I'll recommand for AT91)
or BDI3000 from Abatron
The both work well on MacOS, Linux and Windows
