No. I just had an opinion regarding the BDI. > If you already have a BDI3000 you will just have to buy the ARM7/9 FW arroud > 950€ IIRC > I've already got it, not Mr. Zedeck.. I think 950€ is "a lot" for just the firmware. They've got 6 different bdiGDB versions just for the PPC architecture. I feel that it's wrong to use the term generic when you must pay 950€ and flash the firmware for each new target. But don't get me wrong though, the BDI rocks! Btw, is any of you guys using the self-made MPCBDM? I'd like to use it on 82xx or 83xx, if possible.
