Are BDM wigglers x86 PC only?

2003-07-17 by Scott Newell

Will the common low-end parallel port BDM units work on anything other than
an x86 based host PC?  I've noticed that SingleStep is available for unix,
but I've never heard of anyone using a wiggler under Solaris/Sparc or
HP-UX.  I've read about people using wigglers with gdb, but it seems like
they're running under Linux or Windows on x86 based host hardware.

My motivation is that my >4 year old PC is due for an upgrade.  From
reading the Wind River FAQs, it's gonna be _really_ pricey if I have to get
new node-locked licenses issued for the compiler (diab) and debugger
(singlestep).  Enough that I'll consider migrating new development to
gcc/gdb/rtems.  If I do that, there's not much else stopping me from moving
to a unix based primary workstation, assuming I can debug my '332 hardware!
