[U-Boot-Users] BDI vs. Lauterbach

[David Snowdon]

G'Day,

I've been looking at a few of the posts regarding debugging tools,  
and the standard answer on this list appears to be "Get a BDI2000".  
I'm presently looking at getting a debugger to use to bring up a new  
board, get U-Boot going, and eventually do a lot of OS work (a new OS  
that we're developing - see http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au -- sorry,  
shameless plug).

Some people that we are working with use the Lauterbach Trace32 tools  
extensively, and we've had some good experiences with them. I was  
wondering if anyone on this list had used both (particularly while  
developing U-Boot), and how the BDI-2000 stacks up against the  
Lauterbach equivalent. (Apart from being significantly cheaper).

Any insights much appreciated.

Many thanks,
