Believe me, I am really thinking hard about doing this. My only
reluctance regarding this is whether there is a free version of the CGS
that will actually do breakpoint debugging via the JTAG interface.
Too many companies charge $$$ just for a GNU tool chain modified to
user thier particular wiggler.

If you read the link I included in my posting you'll find links where to
look. The key is including a suitable BDM driver in the Gnu Debugger gdb.
The rest of the compiler suite is unaffected.

And as far as I remember the 68332 doesn't use JTAG for debugging, but the
Motorola BDM interface, which is a bit simpler. So just google for "m68k bdm
gdb", and you'll find enough links to start within the first two search
result pages.

If you use Windows, start reading here:
