12 Some time ago, I inquired about using developing on embedded (gentoo)
13 linux using Eclipse and any sort of TAG/BDM device.

16 I still remember the (focused) scolding you gave me about how that
17 was not the *nix way. Command line, burn and churn, etc etc....
18
19 As an old (*nix) fart, I rather enjoyed (and agreed with) your prose.
20 However, the planet is being overrun with young kids that like their
21 gui-fied tools....

24 Now you are pointing folks to openocd......?

26 It was after my visit to the Freescale conference in Orlando, 2007.
27 I then predicted (learned is more accurate) that many of the vendors
28 are planning on moving to Eclipse as the support package for
29 development (BSP: board support packages). It make a lots of sense.
30 And their FAE's can support Eclipse on a linux or windows platform.

33 *WOW* What's next?
34
35
36 Maybe we can all agree on a BSP that works well with a JTAG and
37 Eclipse, and make it an option for Noobs wanting to get into
38 embedded Gentoo? I think this is an easier sell than GNAP....?
39 Keeping cost down is a good idea, and my early vote goes for
40 an Arm9 board.
