RE: Macraigor USB2Sprite debugger

COP is the debug interface used on some of the stand-alone PowerPC
devices (MPC750, the G2 cores, etc.). 
 
The MPC5500 devices support OnCE, which is a JTAG variant.
 
The MPC500 devices use either BDM (which is not JTAG and is completely
different than JTAG) or a Nexus Auxiliary Input and Output Port. i.e.
the MPC500 does not support any flavor of JTAG for debug (not even via
Nexus). Nexus uses BDM packetized into Nexus input messages.  
 
I think the usb2sprite interface is set up primarily for JTAG. Macraigor
could make a BDM one, but I don't think they have. I also believe that
CodeWarrior for the MPC500 doesn't support any of the USB interfaces
from Macraigor.
 
The Macraigor (unsupported) GDB may support the usb2sptrite, but you
need to check with Macraigor. It does support (some-what) the MPC5500
devices.

Subject: [MPC500] Macraigor USB2Sprite debugger



Hi,

Has anyone here used the Macraigor "usb2Sprite" debugger with any of the
MPC500 boards? It's relatively inexpensive ($225) and is supposed to
compatible with Codewarrior and GNU tools (see datasheet here:
http://www.macraigor.com/downloads/usb2Sprite.pdf
<http://www.macraigor.com/downloads/usb2Sprite.pdf> ).

On one of the Macraigor pages it says that "Freescale PPC COP" is
supported (http://www.macraigor.com/usb2sprite.htm
<http://www.macraigor.com/usb2sprite.htm> ). I'm not sure what is
meant by "COP". If anyone can enlighten me, it would be much
appreciated.

Thanks!

James
