Executing the init sequence after starting insight improves the situation. 

But there are still problems like losing focus in source, 
register changes are not displayed ...

I get the impression that there is a general problem with bdm and gdb...

I contacted Thomas Elter from embeddedtools.net (they sell the microcross 
gcc based cross-tools) and got this answer:

He offers a Abatron BDI2000 and an other BDM interface from Cybertec

Ok. BDI2000 uses tcp/ip remote debugging. But the bdm inteface from cybertec? 
There should be no big difference between this one and the P&E device? 
Both using parallel port.

So my question: 

Is anybody else using the P&E BDM Interface for Coldfire with Insight/gdb
or can confess the compatibility problems of P&E? 



Bye
