High-speed BDM/JTAG Interface for CodeWarrior

bdiWind enhances Tornado (V2.x) from Wind River with Background Debug Mode (BDM) and JTAG debugging via BDI2000. All users of a processor with a CPU32/CPU32+, PowerPC 4xx/5xx/6xx/7xx/8xx, PowerPC 82xx/7400/7410 or ARM7/9/9E can benefit from this debugging mode.

With bdiWind there is no need for Boot ROMs, because the VxWorks core is automatically loaded into the target RAM after every target restart. With the BDI2000, you get a very fast download speed. This combination loads a typical VxWorks core in a few seconds.

No target communication channel (e.g. serial line) is wasted for debugging purposes. Even better, you can use fast Ethernet debugging with target systems without network capability.

In contrast to ICE debugging, bdiWind supports task-mode and system-mode debugging. Task-mode debugging lets you use all of Tornado's advanced debugging features (e.g. dynamic loading and starting of VxWorks tasks).

In most cases, bdiWind eliminates the need for expensive hardware like an in-circuit emulator. bdiWind supports also programming and erasing of standard flash memories from AMD and Intel.
