Title: Abatron BDI2000: is it worth it today? (professional jtag)
Post by: DiTBho on August 03, 2023, 08:19:54 pm

found a seller in Estonia who has some Abatron BDI2000 refurbished units with licenses for PowerPC 4xx and MIPS32r2, both for gdb.

is it worth it today? compared to BusBlaster3 hacked for OpenOCD to support gdb?

I have a BDI2000 with all the firmware files/licenses; it sits on the shelf because I get far more use out of a regular old J-Link. Network connectivity is nice, but nothing I can't get through a nearby PC or rpi. Even with FPGA work, using an FT2232 is plenty fast.
