Hello,

Your website and your products sound very interesting. Could you comment
on the debugger options because looking at the pinouts I see there are
no BDM signals anymore. Do your tools provide an onboard monitor
suitable for communication with GDB?

Paul

We have a debug ethernet driver that runs as a non-maskable interrupt.
It communicates with GDB over the network.

This allows you to debug everything except non maskable interrupt routines.

If you really need BDM, all the BDM signals come out to the test connector,
you would need to solder on a 0.1 header and make an adaptor cable.


For things like code loading and programming flash we do that with a tool
called autoupdate that sends a compressed image over the network.

(This is fast, compile, linke, download, reprogram flash and reboot is less than 15 seconds
from the command line. The DevC++ IDE is slightly slower, the eclipse IDE is probably the same or slightly faster)

There is a customer friendly interface for autoupdate so you can
give these autoupdate tools to your customers so they can update firmware in the field.

Lots more to list I would reccomend that you look at the demo videos on our web site
and go to the Netburner Users forum on Yahoo groups and ask our users what they think
of the platform and environment. One of the recent postings on that group
was a user generated demo of our new Eclipse Beta.

Look for an Netburner offical announcment about the Eclipse IDE
toward the end of the month.
