Has anyone got a serial debugger running on a Coldfire V2 MCF52xxx device?
=20
A while back I read that dBug supports the GDB protocol and dBug is a seria=
l debugger. But all posts I have seen=2C seem to be about using a BDM based=
debugger.
=20
The reason a serial debugger is prefered to a BDM based debugger is that I'=
m doing some robotics work and I can make the servo code run at a higher in=
terrupt level than the serial debugger and this will allow me to debug code=
with servos running.
=20
BDM is too intrusive and it will cause the servos to go nuts.
=20
The CF debug docs say that BDM theoretically will steal cycles but everythi=
ng I have read says tha the BDM debuggers halt the CPU...

Thanks in advance.
