hi guys
it's an hw debugger for MC68020 (Motorola), I got a special offer (~200USD shipped from USA ohhh California) for the CodeICE but just for the hw, I do not know anything about the software it requires to work, I know this equipment has an AUI/LAN port and a serial (RJ22 ? DB9 ? WTF ? Who knows), so the protocol goes through the lan, which is good and HOST independent!

interesting notes I have found from the brochure (CodeICE 68040 Aug96)

MWX-ICE for Microsoft Windows offers the same intuitive control and ease-of-use as the workstation version.

but I know the CodeICE control application is multi platforms, I guess { HPUX/68k, SunOS/Sparc, Windows/x86 }

MRI, DIAB, GNU, Intermetrics, and Greenhills compiler support

I wonder what "with GNU support" means … (GDB supported ? really ?)

Is there anyone experienced with these hw debuggers ?

p.s.
about the reason WHY? on the WHY? Oh Well, I have to confess my home made board is 68000-DIP, but … I have modified it to accept an Amiga-500 accelerator card, so It's possible to install a 68020 on it, and in this case … the 68020 is on a socket, so it's possible to remove the CPU, and install the CodeICE's pod in order to emulate the whole CPU processor, so, in short: Why On the Why ? 'cause it's machine porn

Some prowling the streets, looking for sweets from their Candyman , I'm Looking for a new IP30/Octane2
My machine got the Xbow damaged, so I swapped for a second hand Rigol-DG1032Z WaveGen/DDS@30Mhz
IP30 purposes : linux (kernel development), Irix Scientific Apps { Ansys, Catia, Pro/E, FiberSIM, AutoDYNþ }
Other Projects : { Cerberus , Woody Box , 68K-board, SWI_DBG }, discontinued Console hacks { GB , PSX1 }
Wanted Equipments : { U1732C LCR meter by Keysight, alternatives are the welcome }

ygnus To Offer GNU Solution For Applied Microsystems Emulators

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., December 6, 1995 -- Cygnus Support today announced that Applied Microsystems Corporation's MWX-ICE will be a standard component in the quarterly testing of the Cygnus Developer's Kit (CDK). Developer's will now be able to create executables using CDK and debug, in-target, using MWX-ICE and Applied's line of emulators. The combination of CDK compiler technology and Applied's embedded tools gives users access to efficient cross-platform software development capabilities that reduces time to market. The next test and release of CDK is scheduled for January, 1996.
"We are pleased to have CDK supporting Applied's emulators. Applied and Cygnus Support share the same commitment: To provide embedded developer's affordable, cutting-edge solutions that emphasize rapid time to market issues, " said Kaz Hashimoto, President and CEO of Cygnus Support.
