I've tried to find some reasonably accessible way to run BE code in an emulated environment but alas. Qemu can emulate MIPS and SPARC but apparently not USB hosts for them, so testing adapter drivers is impossible (and all the other code can theoretically be tested via remote_bitbang but for that the contributor would need some bitbanging adapter and a suitable server for that). For a commercial entity sourcing (and later storing and using) a PowerPC Mac is not an issue but for an individual that might be too high of an entrance barrier. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ OpenOCD-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openocd-devel
