We built a small batch of 5270 modules last month. 
We have finished the evaluation of this batch and have just ordered the
beta production run.  These should be ready for beta distribution in 4-6 weeks.
The tools will be ready for beta release then as well.
(Realize these are our fully released tools, the only beta part is the 5270 BSP)

We will release 25 to 30 units as beta development kits.
Existing customers have first shot at the beta units.

Production unit availiblity will depend on quantity silicon availiblity.

Any idea when it would be ready or how satisfactory the process is?

Many (most?) people working in embedded systems developments don't use IDEs.
The people who make the best compilers don't necessarily make the best
debuggers, and they are very unlikely to make the best editors.  If you
concentrate on looking for IDEs, you are going to get a poor solution (or an
unreasonably expensive one), although obviously you have to make sure your
compiler chain and debugger play well together.  Depending on your
experiances, the time you have for learning, and the way you like to work,
it may be that a complete package from one place is the best solution for
you - just don't insist on it from the start.

A popular choice for Coldfire development is GNU tools.  If you don't want
to put it together yourself, you can buy ready-to-run packages from a number
of places.  Given that they cost something like 5% of the price of the big
commercial toolkits, there is little to lose if you don't like them.
Cybertec (www.cybertec.com.au) have such a toolkit (which I haven't used),
and a cheap BDM debugger (which I have bought, but not yet had a chance to
use).

Netburner is currently Beta Testing our MCF5270 solution.

This is the Normal Netburner solution with compiler, linker, debugger, RTOS, TCP/IP, and  hardware reference design..

If you are not familiar with netburner take a look at our website. www.netburner.com

Te site  a reviews  our tools and offerings. The 5270 stuff is not yet ready for official publicity.
so it is not yet covered on the web site.

You can either purchase hardware modules from us, or purchase a design license from us. 
Both  include tools, RTOS TCP/IP and hardware reference design. 

You can also google for past netburner Threads on comp.arch.embedded

Paul
CTO Netburner.

We are beginning the development of an embedded system based on the
Freescale MCF5270 family.

Question 1) - Any experience with that processor anyone is willing to
share???
Question 2) - We are looking for a suitable IDE, compiler, etc.
Freescale obviously suggests Metrowerks. We are also looking at the
Precise MQX, Quadros RTXC, Blunk TargetOS, KADAKAMX, MD SMX, and
ATINucleus.

I have worked with several of these years back. I have also searched
the usenet archives here on Google. But this being usenet, some of the
comments reach back 10 years and many have little to do with the issue
in question. 10 years is a bit far to evaluate a current product.

Will anyone comment on their selected IDE for our environment. Or
their success generally with our selected products.............
