You are right about Abatron, it is definitely a good tool to have. I recently evaluated Agile Software for 8260.
Few thoughts: Main advantage of Agile is that it integrates Abatron's commands and GDB debugging services.=20 Some features I liked were=20 Nice GUI for all BDI and GDB features at one place=20 Ability to move registers, structs etc to same watch window(by click and drag)=20 Tools to automate some processes like loading of register init file, playing back command script=20 Ability to set PC, other registers etc=20 Ability to use the same software for debugging of user applications=20 However there are some problems:=20 Program crashes frequently, they are offering new version of SW which is supposed to be more stable. Problems in setting break points. Problem in getting stack info display. Bug in display of struct info=20 I think overall it brings good value for boot and kernel debugging.

We have neither product in house right now, and we are trying to decide whether to evaluate them for the development of our product. I've seen a lot of good remarks about the Abatron BDI 2000 ICE (that you shouldn't leave home without it), but not much about AgileDB. The product data sheet looks impressive. Any strong opinions out there? Also, we have an opening for an embedded PPC/Linux engineer. Where is the best place to post the ad?
