The customer found the peserv.exe program, along with some documentation files. They only mention ColdFire v3 cores, but it certainly adds weight to our hopes that the P&E Micro BDM cable will work. Thanks for the tip!

We've already tried these flags (I think), without success. But thanks anyway. mvh., David

A customer of ours has a Green Hills compiler suite for the 68k and 
ColdFire.  The version he has is 1.8.9, from 2000.

Does anyone know if the Green Hills debugger will work with the ColdFire 
bdm adaptor from P&E Micro?  The latest Green Hills version will, 
apparently, but we don't know about the older version.  The old version 
supports the Macgraigor wiggler, but that no longer exists for the 
ColdFire.  Perhaps the P&E Micro version and the Macgraigor wiggler are 
compatible?

As an alternative, we've been trying to get gdb to work with the coff 
files generated by the Green Hills compiler.  It's easy enough to get 
the binary code image out of the coff file, but I'm failing to get any 
useful debugging information out of the coff file (or .cfe, as Green 
Hills calls it).  Does anyone have any ideas there?

mvh.,

David

Does anyone know if the Green Hills debugger will work with the ColdFire 
bdm adaptor from P&E Micro?  The latest Green Hills version will,

supports the Macgraigor wiggler, but that no longer exists for the 
ColdFire.  Perhaps the P&E Micro version and the Macgraigor wiggler are 
compatible?

As an alternative, we've been trying to get gdb to work with the coff 
files generated by the Green Hills compiler.  It's easy enough to get 
the binary code image out of the coff file, but I'm failing to get any 
useful debugging information out of the coff file (or .cfe, as Green
