[U-Boot] U-boot debugger/emulator

[Steven Zedeck]

Hi,
This looks very good. I have a couple of questions. I see on their web site
that they offer a product called bdiRDI which allows you to use a source
level debugger. I didn't see that they sell any source level debugger. What
do you folks use as a source level debugger? Cost is an issue, however, I
don't want to sacrifice quality and features too much.

Did you purchase or obtain your source debugging application elsewhere? Or
do you use GDB? I haven't use that before. I'm used to a source level
debugger I believe.

thanks,
Steve
