MAC7111 Flash Programming

Does anyone know of a cheap/free (hobbyist price) solution for programming 
the flash on a Freescale MAC71xx processor?

Thanks,
Simon

Rowley is working on adding support for the MAC71xx. Whether this is
in the hobbyist price bracket depends largely whether you live in a
first world country or not. There is also a GPL app called armtool,
which allows basic control of an ARM7 core via a cheap parallel JTAG
dongle such as the wiggler. You can use this tool to upload a small
app into the MAC71xx processor, which then programs the flash.

The EWARM  KickStart edition apparently has support for programming
the MAC71xx as well. This is a 32K version of their toolset which can
be downloaded for free.

I don't know the prices, but iSystem, Lauterbach and Metrowerks 
also support the MAC7111. Personally I prefer iSystem.
