Compiler Debugger Suites

[TFlynn]

Can anyone recommend a Compiler Debugger suite?

Code Warrior for ColdFire is atrocious! Ok debugging in RAM, but loading flash is sooooo cumbersome.

I'm also using Codewarrior for the HCS12X. Much better.

My favorite 68k tool suite in the past was DiabData & visionClick from EST (now part of WindRiver).

Anyone with other recommendations?

Eclipse will just flash the part with out using the Flash menu.

Hi

When doing a lot of work on the target it is useful to use a boot loader (eg. USB based for the chips that support it or better Ethernet based for the ones with Ethernet). USB FLASH loading takes about 10s and Ethernet loading maybe 2..3 s.

Then CW6/7 or IAR can quickly connect and debug afterwards. Not sure about CW10 though - this is a bit more difficult to steer the debugger [but probably possible with the right training...] - it may want to always load the code (which means it is best to take a coffee break so that it is ready when you return...;-)
