No. I just had an opinion regarding the BDI.

I've already got it, not Mr. Zedeck.. I think 950€ is "a lot" for just
the firmware. They've got 6 different
bdiGDB versions just for the PPC architecture. I feel that it's wrong
to use the term generic when
you must pay 950€ and flash the firmware for each new target. But
don't get me wrong though, the BDI
rocks!

Btw, is any of you guys using the self-made MPCBDM? I'd like to use it
on 82xx or 83xx, if possible.
