I am profusely sorry for adding noise to this list with this semi-OT post, but I'm becoming increasingly desperate, and I suspect the odds of running into someone with one of these units here are pretty good.
If there is anyone here who has a BDI2K with the QorIQ P-series (P3/4/5) target firmware, and wouldn't mind reaching out to me (off-list is fine, and probably the most polite to everyone else), I would really, really, really appreciate it. I'm no embedded systems engineer, but I've got one of these JTAG pods on loan as I managed to brick a commercial board based on P3041 SoC and I'm trying to find a way to reflash non-corrupted code to the on-board parallel NOR. The board has a confirmed 16-pin COP header on it, but of course the BDI unit I have access to has MPC85xx target firmware installed on it. >From what I can tell, not only is this a pretty old debugger model anyway (and not the most recent one that its manufacturer produced), but the company who manufactured it (Abatron) appears to have shuttered their doors over a year ago...the web site is gone and they've abandoned their domain name, so I have no way of reaching out to any of the people involved in this product. Short of making this unit talk to this board, from what I can tell my only remaining options are to pay hundreds or thousands of $ for some other JTAG interface that is still actively manufactured and supported (which I can't justify doing in order to fix this *one* board *one* time), or to find somebody who can desolder the flash chip so that I can reflash it with an offline programmer (which I'd really prefer to avoid). Thanks so much, -- Nathan
