P&E Micro USB BDM slow with Codewarrior

[Adam]

I am looking for some help.  We are currently using CW v6.3 for Coldfire with the P&E BDM USB-ML-CFE.  We have noticed download times to the target take forever, more than 7 minutes for 1.6mb.  We also noticed that if we set CW up to use the P&E parallel BDM and download times are the same when the USB interface should be faster, right?  Can't seem to get the USB interface to run any faster, can anyone help?

I would also suggest to try a recent 7.x version for comparison, just use the demo period (I think 30 days).

Just a shot in the dark, but you might want to make sure you're not writing a byte at a time.

Check your debugger cfg file and make sure you see 4's for dword access,something  like this:

range      0x00000000 0x0001FFFF 4 Read

reserved   0x00020000 0x1FFFFFFF
range      0x20000000 0x20003FFF 4 ReadWrite

reserved   0x20008000 0x3FFFFFFF
reserved   $IPSBAR_BASE + 0x200000  0xFFFFFFFF
