AVR-Chat

hi everybody,

 is there any community effort into reverse engineering the debugWire
protocol already started ?

 as atmel is not releasing this protocol, i guess this is the only way
one could implement tools for debugging AVR targets under diffrent
platforms (linux for example)

 I was looking into it as a possible future module for the monitor
software which  allow ddd/gdb interraction with an AVR micro.
 The project i'm working on in my spare time is at: 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/avrhmon

..still in infant stage but functional... unfortunately it takes 3
pins away from the application while debugging (mosi/miso/sck), also
timer0 is used for the "stepping" trick. I plan implementing a 1-pin
version.. preferably with debugWire, but, if not possible, an
asynchronous bidirectional link would do.. but i'd sill prefer
debugWire (or both)

thanx in advance for any info.
