If MC1322x standard then good luck getting it to work.  Trust me, this  
is not a trivial matter.  It took me almost a month to figure it out,  
and this is after smart, seasoned people had already broken their  
picks on it.

But there's no point in debating - the fact is that increased  
efficiency, support for a new IC, stability improvements to JLink,  
better alignment with ARM technical documentation, and a significant  
upgrade to state and system debugging are now all in pieces, and there  
is no resource to recover it.  Those changes, a month's work, are lost  
for good.  What's to debate?  The group decided they didn't like/want  
my contribution, and now I'm moving on.  I don't need to be convinced  
that it was a good choice, because it's immaterial.  To my mind there  
were at least 10 different ways to manage this, but fundamentally the  
group is happy with the status quo and I regret having wasted my time.
