RE: gdb with BDM-parallel port won't work

Hi Rod.

Since Win98 the Windows operating system has control of the parallel port,
and a driver is needed to allow an application to take control of the port.

The one that you're looking for is called "GiveIO", and, once installed,
should allow your software to run OK.

There are several different versions of "GiveIO", some work better than
others.

Kind regards, Doug Eaton.

Subject: [ColdFire] gdb with BDM-parallel port won't work


I'm running ddd/gdb in a Windows/cygwin environment that I constructed about
7 years ago. I recently moved all the development environment/code to a new
computer which does not have an on-board parallel port. So, I purchased a
parallel port on a PCI card.

ddd/gdb won't operate on this new computer, and I get the following message
from gdb... "error: could not access the GiveIO device".

What do I need to do to get this new computer operating?

Regards... Rod Doré
