WindRiver Probe JTAG<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Hi guys.</DIV>
<DIV>I'd like to know if anybody had an experience using Wind River Probe
JTAG with PowerPC architecture in general, and with PowerQuicc iii family in
particular.</DIV>
<DIV>We're using WR workbench, but I am not sure whether to use their JTAG or
the popular BDI2000.</DIV>
<DIV>Does anybody know if WR Probe uses GDB, or something proprietary to
WR?</DIV>
<DIV>Can it be attached to gdb/ddd/eclipse, or only to WR workbench IDE?</DIV>
<DIV>For kernel debugging with symbolic information - can it use any binary
compiled with -g, or it has to be compiled under WR workbench environment that
has some add-ons (I know, it sounds strange - but I actually heard some vague
saying of this kind from WR representative). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know those are questions that should be addressed to Wind River , which I
did, but I didn't get clear enough answers - so your (good/bad) field experience
could be very helpful.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks a lot, </DIV>
<DIV>Michael</DIV></BODY></HTML>
